Dutton is a settlement in South Australia.[3]
The small township lies approximately six kilometres (3.7 mi) north of Truro on the Eudunda Road. It was first laid out in 1866 and lots were advertised for sale in the German-language newspaper Südaustralische Zeitung.[4]
Dutton School opened in 1880 and closed in 1903. Dutton North School, built on the Levi's Water Hole property near the boundary with Frankton, opened in 1914 and closed in 1927. It also once had a Lutheran school.[5]
The Hundred of Dutton, was proclaimed on 12 August 1858.[8] The South Australian Government Gazette of 12 August 1858 delineates the Hundred of Dutton as "Bounded on the east by a due north line from the north-east angle of the Hundred of North Rhine, ten miles in length; thence by a line due west, to the eastern boundary of the County of Light; thence south by the last-named boundary, to the north-west corner of the Hundred of North Rhine; thence, by the northern boundary of the said Hundred, to the point of commencement."[9]
