Farrell Flat (formerly Hanson)[2] is a town in South Australia.

Once the heart of a thriving farming community, Farrell Flat today is largely a satellite town to the larger towns nearby.

It has retained its own identity, with a functioning hotel, cafe and meeting house, engineering business and grain silos.

The town was surveyed as Hanson in 1870 and did not officially become Farrell Flat until 19 September 1940.

[4] The nearby town of Davies was officially renamed to Hanson on 19 September 1940.
