Summary

Holder village settlement, River Murray. This was one of thirteen communal settlements known as village settlements. They were created to ease the economic depression following the major strikes in the 1890's and the bank crash of 1893. Socialist ideas became popular and utopian schemes were appealing to the unemployed and those struggling to make ends meet. Following pumping problems and little knowledge the settlement ceased in 1903 with the remaining leased blocks being amalgamated into the Waikerie Irrigation Area.
