When was Alice Springs discovered?
Alice Springs came about as a result of the exploration of John McDouall Stuart. In 1862, Stuart's third expedition succeeded in finding a route through the central Australia to the north coast, navigating and mapping the country for white settlement. The construction of the Overland Telegraph Line from Adelaide to Darwin was completed in 1872. The springs after which the town was named were discovered on 11 March 1871 by the team building the Overland Telegraph Line. They actually 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. Surveyors William Whitfield Mills and John Ross both claim credit for the discovery of the springs. 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. 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.
