Hampstead Post Office opened around 1927 and was renamed Collinswood in 1964.[2]
History
In 1838 George Fife Angas selected "country section" 474 in the later-proclaimed Hundred of Yatala. He had been given the right to make first choice of a country section, to which he and other early investors in South Australia were entitled by their purchase of land orders prior to settlement (see Lands administrative divisions of South Australia § Land division history). The bounds of section 474 correspond almost exactly with the present-day Collinwood, but the triangle of land was split, in the early days, between the suburb of Rosebery, in the south, and Collinswood, in the north.[3]
Population
In the 2016 Census, there were 1,384 people in Collinswood. 65.8% of people were born in Australia and 68.3% of people spoke only English at home. The most common responses for religion were No Religion 34.0%, Catholic 17.4% and Anglican 10.3%.[4]
