Keith, South Australia
Keith is a small farm settlement in the southeast of South Australia with 1,089 inhabitants. The city is located 31 m above sea level in the southeast of the state about 225 km from the capital Adelaide at the junction of the Dukes Highway and the Riddoch Highway. Occupied the site since 1884 and is officially recognized since 1889. The town's name probably derives from the homonymous city in Scotland, the home town of the former governor Algernon Keith - Falconer (Lord Kintore ). 1910 opened the hotel in the city, and two years later the hitherto temporary school was a public school.
