Angas Park, South Australia

Angas Park is a region in South Australia, situated on the upper reaches of the Gawler River, and encompasses the towns of Nuriootpa, Angaston and Bethany.

Angas Park was part of the "New Silesia" Special Survey undertaken for Charles Flaxman by William Light, and (following Light's death) Light, Finniss & Co, and largely settled by German immigrants. Flaxman was chief clerk for George Fife Angas.

Angas Park was later the name of a village, of some 70 houses in 1884.[2]

It was also the name of an Adelaide subdivision "west of Mitcham railway station", advertised in 1925.[3]
