North Booborowie is a rural locality in the Mid North region of South Australia, situated in the Regional Council of Goyder. [2] It was established in August 2008, when boundaries were formalised for the "long established local name". [3] In early days, the North Booborowie name was sometimes used synonymously with Willalo, which is now gazetted as a separate locality to its north. [4] [3]
The area was once part of the North Booborowie pastoral station, which was purchased by the state government for closer settlement in 1911 and divided into 89 blocks. [5] [6]
North Booborowie School opened on 29 April 1914 and closed in 1965, with the remaining five students transferred to the Willalo school. [7] A postal receiving office opened at North Booborowie on 12 November 1923, was upgraded to a post office on 1 January 1927, provisionally closed on 12 September 1956, and permanently closed on 30 April 1957. [8] The area was once also home to the North Booborowie Government Experimental Farm. [9]
The locality is zoned for use in primary production, variously for either agriculture or grazing purposes. [3]
