Pioneers of Price & DistrictPrint Page

The plaque commemorates the pioneers of Price and District from 1882 to 1982. The plaque contains an etching of a sailing ship. 

The township, which was proclaimed on 3 August 1882, is near the northern boundary of the Hundred of Cunningham.

It was named by Sir William Jervois, Governor of South Australia from 1877 to 1883, after his daughter in law, Florence Annie Price, who married John Jervois, his eldest son. She was a daughter of Henry Strong Price, a pioneer pastoralist of the Flinders Ranges. Boundaries for the locality were created on 27 May 1999 for the "long established name."
