The Hundred of Booleroo is a cadastral hundred of the County of Frome in South Australia, centred on the eponymous township of Booleroo Centre.[1] It was proclaimed by Governor Anthony Musgrave in 1875 and named for an indigenous term bulyeroo or bulyaroo, thought to mean "plenty" or "soft mud and clay".[1]

The hundred stretches about 8 km (5.0 mi) north and east from the township of Booleroo Centre, about 10 km (6.2 mi) west and 7 km (4.3 mi) south.

Local government

The District Council of Port Germein established in 1888 brought local government to the Hundred of Booleroo several neighbouring hundreds to the west. In 1980 the hundred became a part of the District Council of Mount Remarkable, which was formed by amalgamation of Wilmington and Port Germein councils.
