County of Flinders
The County of Flinders is one of the 49 cadastral counties of South Australia. The county covers the southern part of the Eyre Peninsula “bounded on the north by a line connecting Point Drummond with Cape Burr, and on all other sides by the seacoast, including all islands adjacent to the main land.”
The county was proclaimed by George Grey, the third Governor of South Australia, on 2 June 1842. The county originally extended from Cape Wiles on the west side of the peninsula to Cape Catastrophe in the south and to the “northern extremity of Louth Bay” on the Peninsula’s east coast. The county was enlarged to its present extent in 1872. It was named by Grey after Matthew Flinders, the British navigator.
The District Council of Lincoln was established at Port Lincoln in 1880, the earliest local government within the county. In 1888, the enactment of the District Councils Act 1887 brought the entire county under the governance of the Lincoln council.[citation needed]
The county consists of 15 hundreds. The hundreds are laid out from east to west in five rows (from north to south) as follows:
The Hundred of Cummins (34°15′14″S 135°39′50″E / 34.25377°S 135.66399°E) was proclaimed on 15 January 1903. It covers an area of 400 square kilometres (153 sq mi) and its name was derived from William Patrick Cummins, a member of the South Australian Parliament from 1896 to 1907. It is entirely located within the boundaries of the locality of Cummins.
The Hundred of Flinders (34°51′52″S 135°54′29″E / 34.864365°S 135.908116°E) was proclaimed on 26 November 1903. It covers an area of 260 square kilometres (101 sq mi) and its name was derived from Matthew Flinders, the British navigator. Its boundaries coincide with the boundaries of the locality of Lincoln National Park.
The Hundred of Hutchison was proclaimed in 1867 and is home to Tumby Bay township and surrounds as well as a small eastern portion of Yallunda Flat locality.
The Hundred of Koppio (34°24′03″S 135°51′46″E / 34.40096°S 135.86284°E) was proclaimed on 24 October 1867. It covers an area of 280 square kilometres (110 sq mi) and its name is derived from an Aboriginal word meaning ‘oysters’. Its northern half is within the locality of Yallunda Flat while its southern half is in Koppio and its south-east corner is in Tumby Bay.
