Alice Springs and Tennant Creek are not in any Australian state. They are located in the Northern Territory, which is a territory, not a state, of Australia.
Alice Springs was named after Alice Todd, the wife of Charles Todd, the man instrumental in securing the construction of the Overland Telegraph Line for South Australia.
Alice Springs is the second largest city in the Northern Territory, with a population of over 25 000. It was named after springs which were discovered on 11 March 1871 by the team building the Overland Telegraph Line from Adelaide to the north coast. The springs lie to the north-east of the town and were named after the wife of Charles Todd, the man instrumental in securing the construction of the Overland Telegraph Line for South Australia. Alice Springs was the name given to the telegraph repeater station which operated from 1872 to 1932. The actual town, originally surveyed in 1888, was 3km south of the telegraph station. The town was therefore founded as a base for the repeater station. Until the early 1930s, the official name of the town was Stuart. However, this created confusion for administrators in Adelaide, so on 31 August 1933 the township of Stuart was officially gazetted Alice Springs.
The population of Alice Springs in 1975 was approximately 12,000 people. This figure was based on census data collected during that time period. It's important to note that population numbers can fluctuate due to various factors such as migration patterns, economic conditions, and government policies.
