District Council of Narridy

The District Council of Narridy was a local government area in South Australia, centred on the town of Narridy and the surrounding cadastral hundred of the same name. It was proclaimed on 2 March 1876 with responsibility for the Hundred of Narridy, and divided into five wards (North-West, North-East, Centre, South-West and South-East), each electing one councillor.[1][2] A council chamber had been completed by the end of December 1879; it was described as "not a large building" but "well suited for the purposes for which it was intended".[3][4] The Narridy council ceased to exist from 5 January 1888 after being amalgamated with the adjacent District Council of Georgetown by the District Councils Act 1887.[2] Its abolition was followed by angry local calls for a demerger later in 1888, which met with blanket government refusal; at a local meeting discussing this outcome, it was reported that "it was freely expressed that the Premier was working into the hands of Georgetown".[5][6]
