History

Kilgariff is situated in the Arrernte traditional Aboriginal country. [10]

The suburb's name is derived from Bernie Kilgariff, an Alice Springs resident who served as the first Speaker of the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly at its creation in 1974 and who was elected in 1975 as one of the first two senators elected to represent the Northern Territory in the Australian Senate.[1]

As of 2020, its area was 10.1 square kilometres (3.9 sq mi).[3][7] The land which was formerly part of the suburb of Connellan was created on 24 July 2013.[4][3][11]
