| 説明 | Cadell. Because of the river boat traffic along the Murray River and the possibilities of developing a port near Morgan the Hundred of Cadell was declared early in 1860. It was named after Captain Francis Cadell the first man to prove that a river boat could navigate the Murray from Goolwa to Wentworth on the Darling River. That steam boat race was in 1853. Across the river on the Morgan side the large Big Bend or Morgan station had been established in 1851 with Philip Levi who later sold the run to Edward Bates Scott, a friend and former employee of Edward John Eyre at Moorundie. This large pastoral run was maintained as one station until 1889 when it was split into four stations. Across the Murray at what is now Cadell the imminent arrival of the railway line from Kapunda to Morgan in 1878 hastened surveying and land sales. The first Cadell Hundred blocks were surveyed in 1878 and the rest of the Hundred was surveyed in 1894. The new Era Village Settlement Scheme was set up on some of the land at Cadell but it soon failed and was totally closed down by 1903. Investors then hoped to make big returns by forming the Markaranka Irrigation Company in 1898 which proposed to irrigate the river flats at Cadell to grow lucerne and maize. 300 acres was irrigated but the big Murray flood of 1906 saw the company dissolve. It was not until 1916 that the government took charge and resumed land and declared the Cadell irrigation area. The government provided a pump large enough to irrigation much of the land but only five blocks were leased at Cadell. But the town began to emerge. More leaseholders followed the initial five and then their numbers were swollen with 85 Soldiers Settler blocks in 1920 after World War One. The township soon had a Post Office, store and bank agency by 1920 and a fine stone house for the Irrigation Pumps Manager which was built around 1921. The Cadell Hall was built in 1922 and it became the Institute in 1940 when new front rooms were opened by Sir Richard Butler MP and former Premier; the state school opened in the Methodist Church in 1920 until the stone school room was completed in 1922; and an Anglican church began a tin hut around 1920 and this tin church was rented by the Lutherans for their services for many years. It is a colourful Op Shop these days. Today only the Methodist/Uniting church still stands in Cadell. The original stone Methodist Church was built around 1920 and replaced with a modern church in 1960. It is now a community church. The Cadell medium security prison was opened in 1960 by the chief Secretary of SA Sir Lyell McEwin. It houses over 200 prisoners. |
