Summary

Parachilna name comes from the Nukunu Aboriginal word meaning place of peppermint gum trees. The railway lines and station can be seen in this photograph. When the railway line from Port Augusta to Farina passed through the area in 1881 the whole town was moved 10 kilometres so the population could be closer to the railway siding. The new town was laid out in 1890. The original town was surveyed in 1863
