 Its north edge is bounded by Carrington Street.It is one of six squares designed by the founder of Adelaide, Colonel William Light, who was Surveyor-General at the time, in his 1837 plan of the City of Adelaide which spanned the River Torrens Valley, comprising the city centre (South Adelaide) and North Adelaide.The square was named in 1837 by the Street Naming Committee after James Hurtle Fisher, South Australia's first Resident Commissioner, in 2003 assigned a second name in the language of the original inhabitants, Kaurna, Tangkaira, as part of the dual naming initiative by the Adelaide City Council.
