| 説明 | Owen.Farmers purchased surveyed land here from around 1865 although the Hundred of Balaklava was declared in 1854. The town was established a few years later in 1879 after the narrow gauge railway line from Balaklava linked the Moonta districts with Hamley Bridge and hence Adelaide. In the 1930s this rail line was converted to broad gauge. Governor Jervois selected the town name himself after a friend of his, Henry Cunliff-Owen who graduated from the Royal Military Academy in 1839 the same year that he did. Owen is surrounded by some of the best cereal growing areas of the Adelaide Plains. The state school opened in 1883 but the churches came a few years alter. The Institute was started in 1906 and then it had a new façade added after the First World War. The other early building of the town was the Owen Hotel but with additions and facelifts it is difficult to see the original old building any more. Owen once had Anglican and Methodist churches and a Church of Christ building. |
