It is adjacent to the current Sturt Highway which previously ran through the middle of the town. The town is named after Benjamin Davey who had established a mill there before the town was established.[1] There is a large stockfeed mill adjacent to the highway just west of the town, which is not the site of the original mill. HistoryThe town was founded in the Hundred of Nuriootpa, by Edward Hempel, circa 1856, and named after Thomas Davey (1796-1862) who, with his five sons, established mills at Penrice, Angaston, Eudunda, Salisbury and Adelaide.[2] The towns first postmaster was Francis Norrie who opened a post office in 1863 and it closed on 3 January 1974.[3] The population of the town rose to about 100 in 1866 and, in 1877, the Daveyston School was conducted by Theodor Becker with 39 enrolled pupils; it opened in 1867 and closed in 1970.[4] References{{commonscat-inline}}1. ^{{cite web |url=http://maps.sa.gov.au/plb/# |title=Placename Details: Daveyston |id=SA0018047 |publisher=Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure, Government of South Australia |work=Property Location Browser |date=21 December 2012 |accessdate=9 March 2015}} {{Light Regional Council localities}}{{SouthAustralia-geo-stub}}2. ^South Australian Names. 3. ^South Australian Names. 4. ^South Australian Names. |
