Hundred of Duffield explained
The Hundred of Duffield is a cadastral unit of hundred located in the Australian state of South Australia within the County of MacDonnell and the state government region of the Limestone Coast about south-east of the state capital of Adelaide and about north of the municipal seat of Kingston SE.[1]
It is located on the Australian continental coastline overlooking the body of water known in Australia as the Southern Ocean and by international authorities as the Great Australian Bight.[4] [5] Its extent includes part of the locality of Coorong on its western side while its eastern side is occupied by the locality of Taratap.[1]
History
The traditional owners of the land are the Ngarrindjeri. The hundred was proclaimed on 3 November 1864, but it wasn't until 1888 that local government administration was brought to the hundred when it was annexed by the District Council of Lacapede, later called Kingston council. A school opened in the area in 1912 but closed in 1916.[6]
