Stone Hut was founded in 1874 as a subdivision of part section 3522, Hundreds of Booyoolie and Appila by Robert Hall of Jamestown and John Henderson of Glen Osmond. It was named for a four-room hut built in the early 1850s by stonemason Thomas Long,[3] which served as a shelter for shepherds and later as a mail coach station for Cobb and Co on the route between Clare and Port Augusta.[4]
The town received a boost when the Wheatley's "Old Bakery" moved thence from Wirrabara around 2005.
