The District Council of Truro was a local government area in South Australia from 1876 to 1991.
The council was divided into three wards (Truro, Dutton and Anna), each electing two councillors, on 16 June 1885.
[6] In 1936, the council covered a total area of 190,382 acres, with a population of 892 residing in 450 houses.
[7][8] In 1986, the council district had an area of 792.5 square kilometres, "bounded on the west by the watershed of the Mount Lofty Ranges...and on the east by the Murray River", with a population estimated at 600.
[3] It was acknowledged by the 1980s that the Truro council would "experience constant pressure for amalgamation or dismemberment" in the coming years.
