Andrews is a rural locality in the Northern Areas Council of South Australia, located on the Hill River.

[3] The district, which is primarily dedicated to primary production, mainly grain farming, is in the Spalding Ward of the council.

[5] The original pastoral leases were thrown open for closer settlement when the Hundred of Andrews was proclaimed on 24 November 1864.

In 1924, South Australian Railways began passenger services on the line using the Model 55 Brill petrol railcars.

The Northern Areas Council Development Plan states that the "bulk handling and storage facilities at Andrews are of strategic importance to the economy of the State and need to be protected from encroachment by incompatible development", and seeks to avoid "incompatible land uses" in their vicinity.
