The Hundred of Stow is the cadastral unit of hundred on the northern Adelaide Plains.[1] It is one of the 16 hundreds of the County of Stanley.[2] It was named in 1867 by Governor Dominick Daly after Randolph Isham Stow (1828–1878), twice Attorney-General of South Australia.[1] Parts of the localities of Mount Templeton, Stow, Whitwarta, Watchman and Balaklava are within the hundred.
