Local government edit
The District Council of Clinton was established in 1878 at Clinton and, in 1888, it annexed the Hundred of Tiparra by promulgation of the District Councils Act 1887, bringing the hundred under local administration for the first time. In 1987 the Clinton district council was merged into the District Council of Central Yorke Peninsula. Ten years on in 1997 the same area was amalgamated with three other local councils spanning Yorke Peninsula into the new unified District Council of Yorke Peninsula.
