History

Prior to European colonisation, the area was inhabited by the Kaurna people. The name Onkaparinga is derived from the Kaurna word ngankiparrinnga, meaning ‘The Women’s River’.

European settlement dates from the 1840s. Most of the settlers were initially farmers, with vineyards later being established. After the war[clarification needed] there was significant development and again in the early 1990s. The population is now relatively stable. There are still sections of the area used for vineyards, farming and grazing.
