History
The first Europeans settled in 1869 by Robert Wright and his wife Mary, who built a small limestone and mud dwelling on 20 acres of land 3km east of John Reynell's settlement at Reynella.
In 1897, vigneron Richard Mostyn Owen established his Mount Hurtle winery and built a homestead called Woodcroft Farm, from which the suburb took its name.
Although traces of Wright's dwelling still exist in a small park named after him, and Mount Hurtle is still a boutique winery, both settlements passed out of their respective families in the 1970s and into the hands of the South Australian Lands Commission and the entire area was subdivided into housing.
In 2007 the Vines Caravan Park which was located on Sir James Hardy Way closed to make way for a retirement village. Woodcroft Park caravan park is still operating and is located at Lot 1 Bains Road, Woodcroft.
