Dowlingville is a locality in the Australian state of South Australia located on the east coast of Yorke Peninsula immediately adjoining Gulf St Vincent about 89 kilometres (55 miles) north-west of the state capital of Adelaide. [3] [2] Its boundaries were created in May 1999. [2] [8]
The name of the locality is considered to have been derived from a Mr G.P. Dowling Whittaker who was an early resident. [2] [9] In 1904 it was described as [9]
This is essentially a farming district, so that it is not surprising to find only a few houses, one store, a post office (conducted by Mr. Whittaker), a state school (in charge of Mrs. Lewis), and a church. Only a few years ago this country was covered with scrub. Industry and manures have transformed the district considerably.
