Mount Hope is a small town on the Flinders Highway on the west coast of Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. It was the terminus of a branch of the Eyre Peninsula Railway from Yeelanna from 1914 until but the line was closed and dismantled in 1966.[8] The town was surveyed in 1916, and proposed to be named Mount Woakwine, but no action was taken to call it that.[1]
Mount Hope was part of the traditional territory of the Nauo. It was first traversed by Europeans when Edward John Eyre passed that way in 1839.[9] The school opened in 1911 and closed in 1974.[9] In 1912, it had an undenominational Sunday School run by the same teacher as taught in the school for the rest of the week.[10]
Mount Hope is located within the federal division of Grey, the state electoral district of Flinders and the local government area of the District Council of Lower Eyre Peninsula.[7][1][6]
