Cherryville is a small town in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia.

It was named in around 1840 after the native cherry trees that grew in the area,[2] although some historians claim that it was not named until 1892, when horticultural cherry plantings became widespread in the area.

[3] Prior to this, land holdings were typically of around 100 acres (40 ha) and used primarily for pastoralism or small-scale vegetable gardens.

Cherryville Post Office opened on 2 January 1899 and closed in 1974.

[4] The town received national attention in May 2013 when the 2013 Cherryville bushfire burnt out 670 hectares (1,700 acres) of scrub and farmland surrounding the district.
