Clinton Centre
On Yorke Peninsula reference is sometimes made to Rural Centres. In the Hundred of Clinton there are three, Kaiton, Winulta and Clinton Centre.

It is believed Clinton Centre was so named because it was almost central between Arthurton and Port Clinton. It was never surveyed as a township but farmers in the area donated land for the erection of a church, a school (now closed), tennis courts and a cemetery (also closed). There are no business premises in Clinton Centre and people of the area are catered for by tradespeople performing a round from Arthurton.
In most of these rural or country centres there was an unofficial Post Office which operated from a private home. At Clinton Centre there was such a post office for 83 years but it closed a few years ago. The district is now served by private bag or road bag service.

In the Hundred of Tiparra, which was amalgamated with the Hundred of Clinton in 1878 to form the District Council of Clinton, there are, besides the township of Arthurton, the rural centres of Agery, Sunny Bale and Kalkabury.
