Bower is a town in South Australia, approximately halfway between Eudunda and Morgan[2] on the Thiele Highway.

[3] The name Bower honours David Bower, a South Australian Member of Parliament (1865 – 1887) who donated land in the state for institutional purposes.

[4] By 1916, Bower had become a dispatch centre for mallee timber and roots.

[5] Bower Public School operated in the town between 1917 and 1960, replacing an earlier Lutheran school forcibly closed during World War I.

[4][6][7] The historic Lime Kiln Ruins on Bower Boundary Road are listed on the South Australian Heritage Register.
