One of Adelaide's high streets is named after which British monarch who was the third son of George III and died within a month of the street naming?
King William Street, Adelaide King William Street is the part of a major arterial road that traverses the CBD and centre of Adelaide (the capital of South Australia). It was named by the Street Naming Committee on 23 May 1837 after King William IV, the then reigning monarch, who died within a month. King William Street is approximately 40 m wide, and is the widest main street of all the Australian State capital cities, which are significantly narrower by comparison. It is historically considered one of Adelaide's high streets, for its focal point of businesses, shops and other prominent establishments.
Hundred of Monarto The Hundred of Monarto is a cadastral unit of hundred, the centre of which lies about 47 km east southeast of Adelaide in South Australia and about 19 km west of the Murray River. One of the ten hundreds of the County of Sturt, it is bounded on the west by the Bremer River, with the north west corner being set at the point where Mount Barker Creek merges with the river. It was named in 1847 by Governor Frederick Robe after "Queen Monarto", an aboriginal woman who lived at the time in the area. According to John Wrathall Bull, in his writings on early South Australia history, she was the "lubra " (partner) of aboriginal tribal leader "King John", whose tribe resided "on the banks of the Murray" at the time.
