Walkerville is a suburb of Adelaide, South Australia. It lies just north east of the city centre, about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) from the Adelaide GPO. Walkerville is one of South Australia’s most affluent suburbs and in 2012 it was South Australia’s second “top earning suburb.”[2]
Walkerville was named after Captain John Walker R. N. (no relation to Captain Johnnie Walker), who took up land in the district in 1838, two years after the first colonists arrived in South Australia.[3][4] The area was attractive to early settlers and within a few years, the settlement had become a village. During the 1840s, Walker fell victim to over-speculation in land value and a statewide financial depression. He was imprisoned briefly for debt and in 1849 he left the colony to take up a government position in Hobart.[4] His connection with the state, although brief, is remembered in the naming of the suburb.
