}}Leighton (originally Baldry) is a rural locality in the Mid North region of South Australia, situated in the Regional Council of Goyder.[1] It was established in August 2000, when boundaries were formalised for the "long established local name".[2][3]

The settlement began as a private subdivision known as Baldry, which was first put up for auction in January 1875.[4] It subsequently adopted the name of Leighton, which was the name of a family of early settlers in the area.[5]

Leighton Post Office opened as Baldry Post Office in 1877 but was soon renamed; it closed in 1920.[6][7] The Baldry (later Leighton) Wesleyan Church opened in the 1870s; its date of closure is unknown.[8][9] The Leighton Hall opened in 1909 and was demolished in 2003.[10][11]

Leighton School opened in 1880 and closed in 1989.[3] The former school's World War I honour roll is now preserved at the Booborowie Institute.[12]

Leighton Cricket Club was formed in 1929; its date of closure is unknown.[13] Leighton Golf Club opened in 1932, but there is no reference to it after 1941.[14] Leighton was also an early council seat for the District Council of Booborowie, prior to the construction of a council chambers at Booborowie itself.[15]

The locality is zoned for use in primary production, mainly for agricultural uses, with a small amount of land used for grazing livestock.[1]
