Louth Bay (formerly Laurence) is a town and locality in the Australian state of South Australia.[1] It is named after the bay named by Matthew Flinders on 26 February 1802 which itself is derived from a place in Lincolnshire.[1] At the 2006 census, Louth Bay had a population of 408.[9]
A town was surveyed in March 1909 and proclaimed on 24 June 1909.[4] It was named 'Laurence' after Laurence O'Loughlin, a South Australian politician. In November 1940, the District Council of Lincoln formally endorsed a recommendation to rename the town 'Louth Bay' in order to be in line with common use.[10] The name change was gazetted on 20 February 1941.[11] Boundaries were created in October 2003 for a locality with the name 'Louth Bay and which included the site of Government Town of Louth Bay.[12][1][13]
Louth Island is a large privately owned island located within Louth Bay. 3 km to the south east of Louth Island lies the smaller Rabbit Island, which is part of the Lincoln National Park.
