Wudinna District Council: History
The original corporate entity for Wudinna district was the District Council of Minnipa, which was established on 28 May 1925. Its boundaries were defined as including the hundreds of Minnipa, Yaninee, Pygery, Wudinna, Palabie, Wannamana, Mamblin, Warramboo, Kappakoola, Pordia and Cocata in the County of Le Hunte, and the hundreds of Condada, Moorkitabie, Carina, Addison and Travers in the County of Robinson, the latter five hundreds being annexed from the District Council of Streaky Bay. The inaugural councillors appointed were Charles James Rowen, Arthur William Christian, William Mitchell, Thomas Knight, Edwin James Turley, Ellery John Drummond Oswald, and Edward Beck Smith.
It was renamed the District Council of Le Hunte in 1932, after Sir George Ruthven Le Hunte, who as Governor of South Australia had proclaimed the County of Le Hunte in 1908.
It was again renamed on 24 April 2008 as Wudinna District Council.
