The Hundred of Kuitpo is a cadastral unit of hundred in the Adelaide Hills.[1] It is one of the 11 hundreds of the County of Adelaide.[2] It was named in 1846 by Governor Frederick Robe and is presumed to be derived from an indigenous term ku-it-po, meaning reeds and referring to Blackfellow Creek in the contemporary locality of Yundi.[1]
Other details: Area 124 square miles. Reverend Forsyth stated that as far as he could ascertain Kuitpo was a native name of reeds growing in Blackfellows Creek & pronounced ku-it-po, information supplied by Mr I S Francis 25/3/1944.
