History
The town was founded in the Hundred of Nuriootpa, by Edward Hempel, circa 1856, and named after Thomas Davey (1796-1862) who, with his five sons, established mills at Penrice, Angaston, Eudunda, Salisbury and Adelaide. The towns first postmaster was Francis Norrie who opened a post office in 1863 and it closed on 3 January 1974. The population of the town rose to about 100 in 1866 and, in 1877, the Daveyston School was conducted by Theodor Becker with 39 enrolled pupils; it opened in 1867 and closed in 1970.
