- Biography/History:
-
Between 1846 and 1971, a total of 540 Hundreds were proclaimed within the 49 Counties of South Australia. Five of these Hundreds were anulled in 1870, leaving 535. Of the 535, 10 with German-related names were renamed in 1918. Several other Hundreds were proposed but never proclaimed. All Hundreds have unique names, so unlike New South Wales (where two or more parishes, each in different counties, may have the same name), it is not necessary to use the County name to uniquely identify Hundreds. The early County and Hundred boundaries tended to follow creeks and watersheds but on level country the dominant pattern, begun by Colonel Light on the Adelaide Plains, was a grid running north-south and east-west with diagonal roads linking the towns.
