Dublin is a small town on the Adelaide Plains in South Australia, 61 kilometres (38 mi) north of the state capital, Adelaide. Situated on Highway 1, the town is surrounded by farmland and rural industry. Along with nearby Windsor the area is home to a growing commuter population. At the 2006 census, Dublin had a population of 241.[1]
Dublin is in the federal Division of Wakefield, the state electoral district of Goyder and the Adelaide Plains Council.[2][3][4] Dublin lies in the cadastral Hundred of Dublin which was named after the Irish capital, Dublin in 1856.[5][6]
The South Australian Livestock Exchange saleyards are located southeast of the township, replacing earlier saleyards closer to Adelaide at Gepps Cross in 1999 for sheep, lambs and pigs, and 2003 for cattle.[7]
There were two Schools, one in the town and another at Stony Point junction.[8] The Stony Point School was on the corner of Dublin Road, Windsor Road and Shannon Road from 1876 to 1906. The Dublin School was from 1881 to 1972.[9]
