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]
