Keith is a small farming community in southeastern South Australia with 1,076 residents. The city is 31 m above sea level in the southeast of the state about 225 km away from the metropolis of Adelaide at the intersection of the Dukes Highway and the Riddoch Highway . The place has been occupied since 1884 and officially recognized since 1889. The name of the city may come from the city of the same name in Scotland, the hometown of the then governor Algernon Keith-Falconer ( Lord Kintore ). In 1910 the hotel opened to the city and two years later the previously only provisional school became a public school.
