History

The council was proclaimed on 27 November 1873.[1][2] Its jurisdiction consisted of the whole Hundred of Dublin as well as that portion of the Hundred of Port Gawler north of the River Light. The inaugural councillors in 1873 were proclaimed as Noble Johnson, Weatherall Lindsay, William Wilson, John Lines, Richard J Loveday, and George Arnold.[1][2]

On 1 May 1935, it was amalgamated with the district councils of Port Gawler (to the south) and Grace (to the east) to create the District Council of Light. The new district council was subsequently renamed as the District Council of Mallala in 1937 and again as the Adelaide Plains Council in 2016.[3][4][5][6]
