The Norwood Town Hall is the seat of the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters. It is located on The Parade in the suburb of Norwood, Adelaide, Australia, five minutes east of the city centre. Kensington and Norwood were the first municipalities outside of the City of Adelaide to receive the right to set up their own municipal corporation. The charter of the town was given on 7 July 1853, by the Governor, Sir Henry Young. The original building, constructed in 1859, was the first Town Hall built in South Australia. The current building was designed by Alfred Wells and constructed in 1883; it included civic offices and a banqueting hall to service the growing town. The Town Hall Clock is a local landmark.
