Canowie Belt is a rural locality in the Mid North region of South Australia, situated in the Regional Council of Goyder.[2] It was established in August 2000, when boundaries were formalised for the "long established local name". The name is adapted from "Kanya-owie", an Aboriginal word for "rock waterhole", and was associated with the Canowie Station pastoral lease.[3]
A school at Canowie Belt opened as "Yongala Blocks" in 1904; its closure date is unknown. The school suffered early difficulties when it was found that the walls "cracked badly" after only ten weeks of usage.[4][5]
Canowie Belt Post Office opened on 1 December 1902 and closed on 31 December 1946.[6]
Canowie Belt Baptist Church opened in 1904, but has since closed.[4] In 1911, the church reported that "the subject of baptism was not very prominent" in their meetings so as to have regard for non-Baptist parishioners in their area.[7]
The Canowie Belt Hall opened in July 1909.[8]
