Mantung is a wheat farming area, once a Hundred in the State of South Australia, around 40 km east of Swan Reach, and a similar distance from Loxton.[1]
"Mantung" is reported as the Aboriginal name of a waterhole in the area. A school opened there in 1921 and closed in 1944.[2]
Mantung was one of the towns along the Waikerie railway line after it opened in 1914. The town was surveyed in 1915.[3] Despite the railway closing around 1990, the town hall has continued to be used by the community.[4]
