Nomenclature
Two kilometres east of Penneshaw. J.W. Bull in Early Experiences in South Australia says:
-
... reported to be so called from pigs found there by sealers, supposed to have been left by the French navigator [Baudin], who left a rock marked at this place.'
General Notes
The Register of 17 April 1855, page 2g says its alternative name was "Freshwater Bay" and at the bay was "a small settlement of islanders, who cultivate some 200 acres of fertile land ... It was at this place that the French surveying ship, La Geographe obtained water... in 1803."
A letter from a resident complaining of a notice to quit on account of the land being taken up by pastoralists is in the Register, 20 January 1860, page 3a:
-
This small, but interesting locality has been the scene of great excitement lately in consequence of a squatter having leased it for a sheep run and given notice to residents to quit. Now there are some dozen families who are residing here. Their doing so is unlawful but repeated applications have been made to the government to survey and offer the land for sale, but the settlers cannot get them to do so.... On the island there are upwards of 200 residents, but no minister of religion of any denomination, no doctor and no schoolmaster. The first and last are much wanted; the other, on account of the healthiness of the climate, would have very little to do, as illness and casualties are few and far between.

When Thomas Hogarth first settled on his present farm, Smith's Creek flowed past his door giving him a plentiful supply of running water throughout the year.

He was one of the first to use Ridley's reaping machines...

Hardly ever before has he given such a brilliantly successful performance in his well-known role of political contortionist; and this is saying a great deal in allusion to Mr Holder whom the House has known since he lost the celebrated free trade backbone...

There, in that peaceful retreat, we spent the night with a most interesting trio of pastoral veteran - Messrs Frank, Robert and Tom Warwick....

"Mr Homburg and the Judges" is in the Chronicle,
12 August 1893, page 4e:
-
Mr Homburg ought to have known better than to hold the judges up to public opprobrium in the absence of any reasonable ground for his complaints against them... Mr Homburg was, in fact, in the predicament of being unable to establish his original assertions and had no alternative but to back down with as little loss of dignity as special pleading could secure. His sad experience should be a useful lesson to all parliamentary economists whose zeal has a tendency to outrun their discretion.

-
The township, which in the surrounding locality is generally known as the 'Diamond Lake', is situated in the agricultural area of Troubridge... It lies about six miles west of Edithurgh and the road thither from the latter place is over about a bad a piece of road as can, in all probability, be found in any part of South Australia. Limestone boulders crop up in all directions and although portions of the road have been recently metalled and put in a fair state, there is enough left to cause more than the average amount of profanity on the part of those whose ill-luck leads them to drive much in that direction...

On Sunday, 8 October 1911 the first service held in the new Hundred was conducted by Reverend John Blacket who was on a visit from the city. There was a good muster - 18 men and two little lads, the sons of Mr Richards. Neither preacher nor congregation had a hymn book but old familiar hymns were sung. The service was held in the open air as no building has yet been erected at the bore. The preacher took his stand behind a cartload of chaff for shelter from the wind. The congregation stood before him among the mallee. It was a novel and interesting sight... As yet there is little social organisation in the Hundred. We get our mails or letters as best we can. Settlers visiting Moorlands or Tailem Bend bring out letters for others. Steps are being taken to arrange for the establishment of a school.

Nomenclature
It emerged as a township in 1842 when it was named by William Holden, a butcher and storekeeper, who cut up section 824 into blocks of four acres. His store was burned to the ground but, far from feeling downcast by the loss, he felt 'inspired by hope', hence the name.
