About Mount Hope (SA)
Mount Hope is a small town on the Flinders Highway on the west coast of Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. It was the terminus of a branch of the Eyre Peninsula Railway from Yeelanna from 1914 until the line was closed and dismantled in 1966. The town was surveyed in 1916, and was proposed to be named Mount Woakwine, but no action was taken. Mount Hope was part of the traditional territory of the Nauo people, and was first traversed by Europeans when Edward John Eyre passed that way in 1839. The local school opened in 1911 and closed in 1974.
