+The first settlement by Europeans dates from the Port Gawler Special Survey in 1839.
 There was a great shortage of farming land in the early Colony because of a lack of surveyors.
-When Colonel George Gawler, the second governor of South Australia, arrived in October 1838, he found some 5000 people crowded around Adelaide and conceived the idea of granting special surveys to men with capital.

-These people could occupy suitable farming areas and were guaranteed the right to 4000 acres when the surveyors had finally surveyed the area.
+These people could occupy suitable farming areas and were guaranteed the right to 4,000 acres when the surveyors had finally surveyed the area.
 Accordingly, on 22 November 1838, Messrs T.B. Strangways and S. Blunden set out to find suitable sites for special surveys. They crossed the river which they named after Governor Gawler and continued as far north as the Hummocks.

 Almost immediately the special survey was sold to Captain John Ellis and Captain William Allen, who had arrived in South Australia in the ship Buckinghamshire on 22 March 1839.
-Further north, the Hundred of Grace was originally occupied for pastoral purposes. Large tracts of the country were allotted to pastoralists in the 1850s, and in 1851 Messrs Grant and Butler secured a 14 years lease, in lieu of occupation licence, for 163 square of country at 10/- a mile, which upon expiry or resumption, was included in the Hundreds of Grace and Dublin. Mr Phillip Butler's station took in most of the Hundred of Grace. His flocks of sheep ranged over natural open country, through Mallee scrub and patches of native pine. He employed many shepherds and station hands. These men and their families caused a store and post office to be operated in the vicinity of the homestead. Few traces of these early buildings remain today.
