The Hundred of Gilbert is a cadastral unit of hundred in the northern Mount Lofty Ranges including the town of Riverton.[1] It is one of the nine hundreds of the County of Light.[2] It was proclaimed in 1851 by Governor Henry Young and named after the Gilbert River, which flows from north to south through the hundred.[1] The river, in turn, was named in honour of South Australian pioneer Thomas Gilbert.
Riverton, Marrabel (west half), Rhynie (part east of Horrocks Highway), Giles Corner (part) and Tarlee of the Clare and Gilbert Valleys council are situated inside (or largely inside) the bounds of the Hundred of Gilbert, as well as Hamilton (west of Marrabel Road) of the Light Regional Council.
