Footnotes[2]

The Hundred may have been named after Francis Stacker Dutton, a two-time Premier of South Australia, instigator of the Kapunda Copper Mine, South Australian commissioner at the 1862 International Exhibition, and Agent-General for South Australia in London. Francis was the younger brother of Frederick Dutton, the proprietor of Anlaby Station, near Kapunda.

Dutton School opened in 1880 and closed in 1903. Dutton North School, built on the Levi's Water Hole property near the boundary with Frankton, opened in 1914 and closed in 1927. It also once had a Lutheran school.[5]

The historic former St John's Lutheran Manse and Blacksmith's Shop and Dwelling are listed on the South Australian Heritage Register.[6][7]
