The Hundred of Julia Creek is a cadastral unit of hundred located in the Mid North of South Australia.[1] It was named by Governor Henry Young in 1851 after a local tributary of the Light River, the watercourse having been earlier named for Julia Gawler, daughter of the former governor George Gawler.[2]
Within the hundred are the localities of Ngapala (southern part including township), Julia, Hampden, Eudunda (minor part excluding township), Buchanan and Hansborough (eastern part including township but excluding railway station).
