Notes

  1. ↑ Named for George Witherage Cotton, land agent and politician.
  2. ↑ Properly Culford; probably named for Culford Park but name persists as Cullford Avenue, Klemzig.
  3. ↑ Inferred from names of streets (Bower Road, Kellett Street, West Street, John Street).
  4. ↑ Elgin persists as Elgin Street, Woodville Park.
  5. 1 2 Two distinct subdivisions were named Mellor Park, 42 years apart, by father and son. The Semaphore Park subdivision was named by J.F. and T.F. Mellor in 1879; the Lockleys subdivision by J. W. Mellor (son of J.F. Mellor) in 1920.[4]
  6. ↑ Tenterdon was a more common spelling than Tenterden or Tenterton, though the name persists as Tenterden Street in Woodville South.
