Ninnes is a locality at the northeastern corner of Yorke Peninsula and western side of the Mid North of South Australia. It lies where the Upper Yorke Road from Kulpara to Bute is crossed by the road from Paskeville to Lochiel. The dominant industry is broadacre grain and sheep farming.
The district in the Hundred of Ninnes was settled and the District Council of Ninnes was established in 1885. When the council needed a new building, it moved to Bute which had developed as a larger town, and by then, the Hundreds of Wiltunga and Tickera had been added to the Ninnes District Council.[1] Ninnes is named for the Ninnes Plain, which is turn were named for an early land owner.[2]
The District Council of Ninnes expanded by absorbing the District Council of Kulpara in 1932, then changed name to the District Council of Bute in 1933.[3] It has further amalgamated and is now the District Council of Barunga West.
