Normanville (postcode 5204) is a small rural town near the coast on the Fleurieu Peninsula, South Australia. It is situated next to the mouth of the Bungala River.
Location and geography
It is 1 km (0.62 mi) south of Carrickalinga, which has lovely beaches and is a popular beach holiday destination, and 3 km west of the larger regional centre Yankalilla. The town has a small shopping centre, a main street shopping area, and residential area. Recently the southern three quarters of the Normanville district have had a suggested name change to Lady Bay.[2]
History
The town was established by South Australia's first dentist, Robert Norman, in 1850.[2] Norman opened the Normanville Hotel on 1851 and a church soon after. The Normanville Hotel became the host of the first district council meeting for the area. The town eventually grew to become a successful wheat exporting area, using the nearby jetty at the current Normanville Beach as a port for ships coming and going. However with the development of Adelaide as the capital city, it lost its prior importance.
Economy
Although farming continues in the area, the beautiful town has an active tourist industry. The Normanville Beach, jetty, historic buildings and the Normanville Hotel are the main focal points for visitors. Normanville is situated near the Fleurieu Wine Region.
