 From 1909-1958 the north-west corner of the square was cut off by electric tram tracks.In March 2003, as part of the City of Adelaide's dual naming project in association with the University of Adelaide's project, the square was assigned the name "Ivaritji", to commemorate the last full-blood Kaurna person and speaker of the language, a woman also known as Amelia Taylor, who was the daughter of "King Rodney".The spelling of the name was later amended to Iparrityi.
