Description
The name and boundaries of Kooroona were formalised in January 1999, in respect of the long established local name. The area was alternatively known as Copper Valley, and had previously been known as South Bower, after a mining venture in the area.[4] The historic Moonta Cemetery is located at the northern tip of Kooroona and is listed on the South Australian Heritage Register.[5] The remainder of the locality is largely agricultural land.[2]
