Hundred of Cummins

To assist with the regulation and administration of land transactions in South Australia [that
is, for cadastral purposes - Ed], counties and hundreds were established. Under the principle
of concentration, new hundreds were usually proclaimed adjoining existing ones. Land could
only be purchased in proclaimed areas, so as the demand for land grew, new hundreds were
declared. Within each hundred the land was surveyed into sections which were then offered
for sale.
The first hundreds were proclaimed in 1846.
