title: Hundred of Kuitpo
text: # Hundred of Kuitpo
  
  The Hundred of Kuitpo is a cadastral unit of hundred in the Adelaide Hills. It is one of the 11 hundreds of the County of Adelaide. It was named in 1846 by Governor Frederick Robe and is presumed to be derived from an indigenous term ku-it-po, meaning reeds and referring to Blackfellow Creek in the contemporary locality of Yundi.
  
  ## History
  
  Being in the County of Adelaide, the hundred was proclaimed in 1846 along with the earliest hundred proclamations in the state. The early local administration of the hundred was split in 1853 between four new district councils established within a few months of each other: the District Council of Willunga in the south west, the District Council of Kondoparinga in the centre, the District Council of Clarendon in the north west, and the District Council of Echunga in the north east. The latter three were amalgamated with much of the District Council of Macclesfield in 1935 to form the District Council of Meadows.
