In 1843 a pastoralist named John ‘Jacky’ White acquired a run of 134 square miles spanning Reedy Creek, Keilira, Crower and Lucindale. He was the first European settler in Avenue Range. [9]

Avenue Range was a stop on the Kingston-Naracoorte railway line. The first passenger train to travel on the line from Kingston to Naracoorte was on 1 September 1876 until the last on 28 November 1987 spanning 111 years. [10]

The first Avenue school, named Downer School, was built south of the railway line and operated from 1890 to 1901. A new school, built on Council of Education land opened in 1901 and operated until 1955. [11]

The locality includes the Cairnbank Homestead and Shearing Shed, which is listed on the South Australian Heritage Register. [12]

Land within the locality is used exclusively for agriculture. [13] [14]
