The District Council of Snowtown was a local government areainSouth Australia from 1888 to 1987.

History[edit]

The District Council of Snowtown was officially proclaimed on 5 January 1888 by the District Councils Act 1887 as constituting the Hundreds of Barunga and Boucaut.[1]

The council was headquartered at the new government town of Snowtown and six inaugural councillors were appointed by proclamation on 19 January 1888: Joseph Turner, William Henry Hall, David Edward Paterson, Joseph Harris, Daniel Painter, and John Shepherd, junior.[2]

In 1889 and 1890 the council expanded south, gaining the Hundred of Everard from the District Council of Blyth on 26 September 1889[3] and the Hundred of Cameron from the District Council of Port Wakefield on 6 February 1890.[4]

On 8 April 1909 the council expanded slightly east to gain the south west portion of the Hundred of Hart (land west of the Gladstone-Brinkworth rail line) from the District Council of Hutt and Hill Rivers.[5][6]

On 8 December 1987, the council was amalgamated with the District Council of Blyth to form the new District Council of Blyth-Snowtown.[7]
