}}Yorketown is a town and a locality in the Australian state of South Australia located in the southern Yorke Peninsula about {{convert|91|km}} west of the state capital of Adelaide and about {{convert|70|km}} south of the municipal seat of Maitland.[1][6] At the 2016 census, the locality had a population of 969 of which 642 lived in its town centre.[3][2]

History

Yorketown began as a private sub-division in section 85 of the cadastral unit of the Hundred of Melville in 1872.[1][4] Its name was declared by the Surveyor General of South Australia as an official place name on 16 November 1995.[10]

Boundaries were created for the locality which was given the "long established name" of Yorketown on 27 May 1999.[1][5] The area associated with Yorketown is known as Garrdinya by the Narungga, the aboriginal people of the Yorke Peninsula.[1]

Government

It is located in the local government area of Yorke Peninsula Council, the state electoral district of Narungga and the federal Division of Grey.[8][1][7]

Media

The Southern Yorke's Peninsula Pioneer was first published in Yorketown on 21 January 1898, and sold at a discounted price due to its late appearance.[11] It was originally owned and established by Ben L. Wilkinson, and later helped by his brother Richard.[12] In Issue 10, on 25 March that year, the newspaper adopted a simpler title, The Pioneer, later becoming part of the Yorke Peninsula Country Times from June 1970.

For thirty years an opposition newspaper, The Southern Yorke's Peninsula Clarion (1 February - 31 May 1902), simplified to the Clarion (7 June 1902 - 21 May 1931), also existed in the town too.
