The plaque commemorates the first 100 years of the settlement of the Hundred of Wandearah from 1874 to 1974.

The Hundred of Wandearah is a cadastral unit of hundred in South Australia. It is one of the 14 hundreds of the County of Victoria and was proclaimed by Governor Anthony Musgrave in December 1874. The hundred lacks any townships and is split into the bounded of localities of Wandereah West and Wandearah East. According to South Australian historians Rodney Cocburn and Geoffrey Manning, it was named for an indigenous term meaning "big trees".
