Settlement history European settlement of the area dates from the 1840s, with land used mainly for sheep grazing and grain growing. Growth took place during the late 1800s, spurred by the establishment of mining, sand quarrying and salt production, and the transport of grain and minerals via several ports, including Ardrossan Port. Numerous small townships were established from the 1870s. A large dolomite mine was established by BHP near Ardrossan in 1950. A deep water port was constructed at Port Giles (Coobowie) in 1970, becoming the main port for exporting grain and seeds. The population has been relatively stable in recent decades. Land use The Yorke Peninsula Council area is predominantly rural, with the main township being Ardrossan, small townships at Edithburgh, Maitland, Minlaton, Port Victoria, Port Vincent, Stansbury, Warooka and Yorketown, and numerous small villages and holiday settlements. Rural land is used largely for agriculture (particularly grain growing and sheep and cattle grazing), with salt production, mining, fishing and tourism also being important industries. The Council area encompasses a total land area of nearly 6,000 square kilometres.

Page 10 of 122 Yorke Peninsula Council area Population and dwellings There are a number of different ways of measuring the population of an area, all of which give an insight into the size of the place and its rate of growth over different time periods. The Census counts people where they are on the night of the Census (enumerated population) and also by where they usually live (usual residence). Both these populations are useful and form the basis for a range of characteristics collected in the Census. However, the most accurate count of the total population is Estimated Resident Population, which factors in an estimate of those missed in the Census and those who were overseas on Census night. It is usually higher than either Census count, and is also updated annually after the Census, providing preliminary estimates for up to 5 years. This page provides the three population counts for Yorke Peninsula Council area at the last Census, with comparisons to previous Census years for the Census counts only. The current estimate for Yorke Peninsula Council area at the most recent year available is shown at the top of the page. This figure is a preliminary estimate only and is subject to review after the next Census data are released. Please use with caution. Also included are a range of sub-population groups and key statistics from the Census (usual resident) population, such as citizens, employed persons and Indigenous population. These figures all provide the context for the size of the population and growth rate within Yorke Peninsula Council area and should be looked at in conjunction with other basic demographic information, such as Age Structure, Dwelling Type and Household Size. The data on this page are sourced from a variety of different tables and designed to give a range of population and dwelling numbers for the area.
