The Hundred of Munno Para is a cadastral unit of hundred covering the outer northern suburbs of Adelaide north of the Little Para River and the flanking semi-rural areas in South Australia.[1] It is one of the eleven hundreds of the County of Adelaide.[2] It was named in 1846 by Governor Frederick Robe, Munno Para being a term from a local Kaurna Aboriginal people meaning golden wattle creek.[3] This name refers to either the Gawler River (which starts at the confluence of the South Para River and North Para River) or the Little Para River.
