The Georgetown township survey made in 1869 was on a grand scale. The town, located in open grassy country, extended over 2235 hectares and was planned as a miniature Adelaide, with north, south, east and west terraces. At first Georgetown flourished with settlement and businesses; but its prosperity declined when, as a result of political pressures, the railway line at first proposed to pass through Georgetown and Narridy was diverted to run through Jamestown and Caltowie to Port Pirie.
Georgetown, Gulnare and Yacka still function as townships with their own basic services and facilities; but Huddleston and Narridy, each with its own little clutch of buildings, have now receded into history. There is nostalgia in the peaceful stillness of Narridy, where once, before the development of Port Pirie, the blacksmiths' anvils and the steam engines of chaff and flour mills added their sounds to those of the bustling community.
The District Council of Georgetown was formed on 2 March 1876 to control the Hundred of Bundaleer. On 5 January 1888, following the passing of Act 419 of 1887, the District Council of Narridy and the Hundred of Yackamoorundie were amalgamated with the District Council of Georgetown and the area was divided into three Wards. In 1921, these Wards were changed into four Wards: Georgetown, Gulnare, Narridy and Yacka
