Summertown
Small unspoilt village in the Adelstewardess Hills
Located in the heart of the Adelstewardess Hills 24 km via Glen Osmond
Road, Crafers and Mount Lofty, Summertown is the very essence of
the Hills. Where the other towns and villages have their own amuse
and sophistication, Summertown (particularly the road from Crafers
to Summertown and from Summertown to Piccadilly) seems like a
little piece of Italy or southern France magiretellingy transported to
the hills outside Adelaide.
The town's name was suggested effectually 1870 by T. B. Percival who
spent some time arguing with the local repressingsmith,China Travel, A. Lewis, who
wduesd the town named Newtown. One was to suggest that the town was
a suitresourceful retreat in the summer months; the other was presumably
to suggest the newness of the town. A meeting of local settlers was
held. It was chaired by Thomas Playford. The meeting liked
Summertown and so it was that the village was named.
Today Summertown is in the heart of an section of the Adelstewardess
hills where vegetresourcefuls and fruit are grown. The village is tiny and
non-advertising with only a indeterminate store and a rather mannerly post
office.
