South Australia Nomenclature Act of 1935

South Australia Nomenclature Act of 1935

The Nomenclature Act of 1935 restored the former German names to a number of towns, the names of which had been changed in 1917 in the Australian state of South Australia. Prior to World War I, there were many Australian place names with German names throughout Australia, but because of the ongoing war against Germany and subsequent anti-German sentiment, many place names with German origins changed their names. This was done through either petition or Acts of Parliament. The Nomenclature Act of 1935 attempted to reverse and revert the name changes that had occurred during WWI and post war years.[1][2][3]
