The District Council of Peake was a local government area in the Australian state of South Australia that existed from 1911 to 1997 on land in the state’s south-east.
It was proclaimed on 16 November 1911 with its seat being located in the town of Peake.[3]
At establishment, it consisted of the whole of the hundreds of Peake, Sherlock, Roby and Livingston.[3]
At establishment, the district consisted of four wards whose names and boundaries were identical to the consistent hundreds and which were represented by two councillors each with the exception of Livingston Ward which were represented by one councillor.[3]
On 13 February 1997, it was amalgamated with the district councils of Coonalpyn Downs and Meningie to create the Coorong District Council.[4]
