The Hundred of Hindmarsh is a cadastral unit of hundred covering much of the locality of Tantanoola, South Australia, including the township.[1] It is one of the 21 hundreds of the County of Grey located within the former Tantanoola Drainage District. Parts of the localities of Burrungule, Glencoe, Koorine and Mount McIntyre are also within the hundred. It was named in 1858 by Governor Richard Graves MacDonnell after former governor John Hindmarsh.[1]
