Quick facts Bower South Australia, Coordinates ...

The area was originally the territory of the Ngadjuri people.[3] The name Bower honours David Bower, a South Australian Member of Parliament (1865 – 1887) who donated land in the state for institutional purposes.[4] By 1916, Bower had become a dispatch centre for mallee timber and roots. These were loaded at the railway station on the Morgan railway line and sent to Adelaide.[5] Bower Public School operated in the town between 1917 and 1960, replacing an earlier Lutheran school forcibly closed during World War I.[4][6][7]

The historic Lime Kiln Ruins on Bower Boundary Road are listed on the South Australian Heritage Register.[8]
