in February 1856 the church was consecrated in honour of both Margaret Hughes and the patron saint, St Margaret of Scotland. Woodville railway station opened in 1856, and Woodville Primary School as well as the Institute opened in 1878. 20th century Woodville High School opened in 1915. In 1923, Holden Motor Body Builders established a site known as the Holden Woodville Plant (although it was in fact in the nearby suburb of Cheltenham), expanding to and employing 5,500 people three years later, which had an impact on all of the surrounding suburbs. In 1927, the Woodville Town Hall was constructed by the council in association with cinema entrepreneur Dan Clifford, to be used as a picture theatre called the Star Theatre (or Woodville Star). The cinema, which had two levels of seating, opened with the American silent comedy We're in the Navy Now on 12 April 1927, and continued to be operated by Clifford Theatres/Star Theatres chain until 1947, when Greater Union took over. The Star Theatre was closed on 9 November 1974, but continued to show Greek films for some time afterwards. The building was later heritage-listed, and underwent a major renovation in 2010. During World War II, a railway spur was built from Woodville station to Finsbury ammunition factory in 1940, and the railway station itself was rebuilt. In 1942 the Actil factory was built to manufacture cotton materials, and after the war, many new migrants staying at the nearby migrant hostel were employed at the factory. The area was considered to be a genteel area. Many European migrants settled in Woodville and the surrounds after World War II. It was a busy local centre in the 1950s and 1960s because of the Holden plant at Cheltenham, and because of its proximity to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woodville South (opened in 1958 by the Queen Mother). Woodville Road was the hub of local activity, with numerous commercial businesses. During the 1980s and 1990s, Woodville and its surrounds became home to many Vietnamese refugees from the Vietnam War. Through the 1980s, Holden progressively moved its operations to its Elizabeth plant, leading to the closure of Holden Woodville Plant. In 1996, a new civic centre and library was built next to the old town hall. The City of Hindmarsh Woodville and the City of Henley and Grange amalgamated to form the City of Charles Sturt from 1 January 1997.
