Coles is a locality in the Australian state of South Australia located in the state's south-east within the Limestone Coast region about south east of the state capital of Adelaide and about south-west of the municipal seat of Naracoorte.[3]
Boundaries for the locality were created and was given the name of Coles on 3 December 1998. The name is derived from the cadastral unit of the Hundred of Coles in which the locality is located.[1] The hundred itself was named after Jenkin Coles who was a member of the South Australian House of Assembly from 1875 to 1911.[7]
Coles is located within the federal division of Barker, the state electoral district of MacKillop and the local government area of the Naracoorte Lucindale Council.[5] [4] [1]
In January 2022 a bushfire burning within the locality resulted in the death of a CFS volunteer Louise Hincks.[8]
