==History==
In the Narangga language of the indigenous Narungga people, Edithburgh was known by the place name Pararmarati.〔Tindale, Norman B., 1936. ''Notes on the Natives of Southern portion of Yorke Peninsula, S.A.''. Proc. of Royal Soc. of Aust., vol 60., pp 55-70.〕 Some sources give the pronunciation 'Barram-marrat-tee'. The first European pioneers arrived in the 1840s and were sheep graziers and pastoralists. With closer settlement, in 1869 the Marine Board fixed a site for a jetty to service the developing farming district. An adjacent town was then surveyed, the layout closely emulating (on a smaller scale) that of Adelaide, with a belt of parklands. Edithburgh was named by Governor Sir James Fergusson after his wife Edith. The new jetty opened in 1873.〔Collins, Neville: ''The Jetties of South Australia'', (Adelaide 2010) ISBN 978 0 9580482 4 8〕
