Aldgate has retained a historic feel, with the town's buildings now home to a selection of art and craft shops and restaurants. The village grew following the construction of the Aldgate Inn in 1864, now the Aldgate Pump. Stangate House, built in 1840, features an extensive camelia garden and the town's deciduous trees are a delight in both spring and autumn. Aldgate is located roughly 21 km south east of Adelaide and was named by Richard Dixon Hawkins after a location in London, England (The original name in London came from the words Ale-gate which essentially means "open to all" referring to the unique nature that no tolls were taken at this gate. The current name of Aldgate did not occur until around 1486-7).
