Fun Facts
Originally settled around 1840, the town retains its village atmosphere in spite of encroaching suburbia.
History
In 1850 the South Australian Company laid out the 'No-orlunga Township' at the 'Horseshoe', Onkaparinga River.
In the early years of settlement, the surrounding area was cleared for wheat farming, and a flour mill was built in the town in 1843 along with wharves used to transport produce down the Onkaparinga River to Port Noarlunga via barge. The town still has a stone bridge across the Onkaparinga, making the town a focal point for travel further down the coast. 1856 saw the formation of the District Council of Noarlunga.
By the 1860s the town had a post office, a council chamber, two churches, a public pound, two hotels, a mill, a brewery and a brickworks.
1972 saw Main South Road bypass the town and in 1978, by council resolution it became Old Noarlunga. Many local residents at the time were not in favour of the townships name change.
