Northfield is a suburb of the greater Adelaide, South Australia area.

History

The earliest known record of the name being used in reference to the area, is from the 1890s in conjunction with the North Field Athletics Club. Yatala Labour Prison is located in Northfield.

The suburb was serviced by the former Northfield railway line and Northfield railway station from the opening of the line in 1857, until its closure to passenger traffic on 29 May 1987.^[1] The former terminus of the line, Stockade railway station, which was closed in 1961, was built to load stone from the quarries behind Yatala Labour Prison^[1] (which was originally called The Stockade - a name which survives in the local park of the same name^[2]). Sections of Northfield were renamed Northgate and Lightsview in 2016.^[3]
