History

Perponda was on the Waikerie railway line. The school opened in 1924, but has since closed.[10] The town was surveyed in 1919 and the name is derived from the local Aboriginal word for the plains.[11] The modern locality area includes the former town of Kalyan which was the next siding north along the railway.[12]
