    Place Names of South Australia - F

    Franklyn - Furner

    Franklyn

    Nomenclature

    Near Terowie in the Hundred of Wonna. The town was proclaimed on 23 September 1880 and closed on 9 February 1984. In 1916 the nomenclature committee suggested the name be changed to 'Wonna' to avoid confusion with the Adelaide subdivision of 'Franklin'. Its school was opened as 'Wonna' in 1883; name changed in 1886 and closed in 1916. It was named by Governor Jervois and under the entries of 'Cleve' and 'Snowtown' we have discussed the affiliation between the respective families of 'Jervois' and 'Snow'.

    The nomenclature of this town is, no doubt, explained by the following piece of history:
