History

The Hundred of Yaninee, County of Le Hunte, was proclaimed on 31 July 1913 and the town of Yaninee, 20 km north-West of Wudinna, on 23 March 1916. The Yaninee Post Office was opened by J.J. McCarthy on 6 March 1918; the Yaninee School opened in 1919 and closed in 1945. In 1926, it was said that it was a 'go-ahead settlement with its store, garage, wheat sheds and other buildings': A fine hall has just been completed. The surrounding country is mainly devoted to wheat and sheep farming. Last season 50,000 bags of wheat were delivered at the siding… A telegraph line is being constructed along the railway line from Port Lincoln to Thevenard…
