Bower is a town in South Australia, approximately halfway between Eudunda and Morgan[1] on the Thiele Highway.
The area was originally the territory of the Ngadjuri people.[2] The name Bower honours David Bower, a South Australian Member of Parliament (1865 – 1887) who donated land in the state for institutional purposes.[3] By 1916, Bower had become a dispatch centre for mallee timber and roots. These were loaded at the railway station on the Morgan railway line and sent to Adelaide.[4] Bower Public School operated in the town between 1917 and 1960, replacing an earlier Lutheran school forcibly closed during World War I.[3][5][6]
The historic Lime Kiln Ruins on Bower Boundary Road are listed on the South Australian Heritage Register.[7]
