Origin of the name

Newland is named after Simpson Newland (1835-1925), a prominent South Australian pastoralist, author and politician. A wealthy farmer, he entered the House of Assembly in 1881 and was State Treasurer 1885-1887. Newland made significant contributions to development around the Murray River and was a prominent advocate of building locks and a major port on the river, as well as a north-south railway. Newland is best remembered today as the author of the book ‘Paving the Way’.
