Centenary of Settlement of Spalding DistrictPrint Page

Photographs supplied by Stephen Warren
The plaque commemorates the centenary of the settlement of the Spalding District from 1869 to 1969.
Prior to 1869, there were five sheep runs in the Spalding area: Bundaleer, Booborowie, Canowie, Hill River and Bungaree. From this date, the Spalding area was made available to farmers and a farming-centred community grew.
On 30 July 1885, the District Council of Spalding was proclaimed; it remained until 1997, when it merged into the Northern Areas Council. In 1925 a post office was built in Spalding.[
