Pulteney Street, Adelaide

Pulteney Street is a main road in the eastern sector of the central business district (CBD) of Adelaide [cite book|title=2003 Adelaide Street Directory, 41st Edition |publisher=UBD (A Division of Universal Press Pty Ltd) |year=2003 |isbn=0-7319-1441-4] , South Australia. It runs north-south, from North Terrace to South Terrace, where it becomes Unley Road.

Pulteney Street was named, at the behest of Governor Hindmarsh, after Admiral Sir Pulteney Malcolm, who had recommended Hindmarsh be appointed Governor of South Australia. [http://www.historysouthaustralia.net/STlist5.htm#pul] The southern portion of Pulteney Street, between Wakefield Street and South Terrace, was originally named Hanson Street, after Richard Davies Hanson (later Sir Richard), a London solicitor and journalist, and founding member of the "South Australian Literary Society" in August 1834. In 1846, nearly a decade after the naming, Hanson moved to South Australia, where he served as Premier (1857-1860), as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court (from 1861) and as acting Governor (1872-1873). Hanson Street was subsumed into the expanded Pulteney Street in August 1967. The Hanson Street Memorial in Hurtle Square maintains the commemoration of Sir Richard.

Pulteney Street passes through two of the five squares in the Adelaide CBD: Hindmarsh Square and Hurtle Square.
