History Glenalta is a suburb located in the south eastern Foothills of the Mount Lofty Ranges of Adelaide, South Australia. It is adjacent to Belair National Park.In 2009, demographer Bernard Salt of the Sunday Mail judged Glenalta to be Adelaide's most liveable suburb, citing its "affordability, access and ambience". Glenalta was founded in 1850 by John, James and Anne Stewart. They emigrated from Scotland to the Glenalta Valley in South Australia. The valley has never flooded, even during major floods in 1851, 1897 and 1974.The name Glenalta is derived from "glen" (valley) and "alta" (high), hence meaning 'a valley near a hill'. Glenalta is neighboured by Campbelltown, Smithfield Plains, Clarendon Vale and Athelstone. The majority of the suburb was subdivided for suburban housing in the 1950s and 1960s.
