The council was named after the Hundred of Yatala which was proclaimed in 1846 in the County of Adelaide,[1] Yatala likely deriving from a Kaurna word 'yartala' referring to the flooded state of the plain either side of Dry Creek after heavy rain.[2][3] The name was used to describe a large portion of the Adelaide Plains from Port Adelaide in the west to Tea Tree Gully in the east.[4]
