History
Regency Road used to be Islington Road Between Torrens Road and Churchill Road, Irish Harp Road between Churchill and Main North Roads, and Rakes Road from there to Hampstead Road. Some years after the old Islington Sewage Farm had closed and the land fallen into disuse the new suburb of Regency Park was created on the site, named in honour of Queen Elizabeth II (the regent) on her visit to Adelaide in 1970. At the same time, Islington Road, which formed the southern boundary of the suburb was regazetted (along with Irish Harp and Rakes Roads) a s Regency Road.
