Local government
[edit | edit source]On 5 January 1888 the District Council of Snowtown was established, along with many other new local government bodies in South Australia, by the District Councils Act 1887,[3] incorporating the entirety of the hundreds of Barunga and Boucaut. The Hundred of Barunga contained the Barunga and Snowtown wards of the council.
In 1987 Barunga and Snowtown wards of the Snowtown council retained their statuses as a ward in the consolidated District Council of Blyth-Snowtown. Since the amalgamation of Blyth-Snowtown and Wakefield Plains councils into the new Wakefield Regional Council the hundred has been a part of the much larger North ward of the Wakefield council.
