The District Council of Munno Para East was a local government area of South Australia from 1853 to 1933, seated at Uleybury.[1]

History

The District Council of Munno Para East was established in 1853 to govern the eastern half of the cadastral Hundred of Munno Para.[2][3] The District Council of Munno Para West was established the following year to bring local government to the western half of the hundred. The combined area was bounded on the south by the Little Para River (which derives its name from the aboriginal term pari meaning "stream of flowing water") and on the north by the Gawler River/South Para River and was also known as the northern Para Plains. In 1899 a part of the council of Munno Para West was severed to be the District Council of Gawler South and later merged with the Corporate Town of Gawler in 1933.[3] In 1933, the council of Munno Para West was abolished, with part going to the Town of Gawler, part to the new District Council of Salisbury and the remainder merging with the Munno Para East council to form the new District Council of Munno Para.[3]
