The County of Dufferin is one of the 49 counties of South Australia on the state's west coast.[1] It was proclaimed in 1889 and named for Frederick, Lord Dufferin, a prominent British diplomat of the day.[1]
It covers a portion of the state adjoining the west coast north of Streaky Bay, including all but the western tip of Pureba Conservation Park.[1] This includes parts of the contemporary local government areas of Ceduna District and Streaky Bay District councils.
