Dowlingville is a locality in the Australian state of South Australia, located on the east coast of Yorke Peninsula immediately adjoining Gulf St Vincent about 89 kilometres (55 miles) north-west of the state capital of Adelaide. [6] [2] Its boundaries were created in May 1999. [2] [8]

The name of the locality is considered to have been derived from a Mr G. P. Dowling Whittaker who was an early resident, and grandson of Rev. George Pike Dowling of Somerset. [2] [9] In 1904 it was described as [9]

This is essentially a farming district, so that it is not surprising to find only a few houses, one store, a post office (conducted by Mr Whittaker), a state school (in charge of Mrs Lewis), and a church. Only a few years ago this country was covered with scrub. Industry and manures have transformed the district considerably.

—  The Register, 3 May 1904 [10]

The locality contains the historic former Dowlingville Post Office, which is listed on the South Australian Heritage Register. [11]

As of 2014, the majority land use within the locality is primary production. [12]

Dowlingville is located within the federal division of Grey, the state electoral district of Narungga and the local government area of the Yorke Peninsula Council. [2] [3] [4]
