Mount Hope is a small town on the Flinders Highway on the west coast of Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. It was the terminus of a branch of the Eyre Peninsula Railway from Yeelanna from 1914 until but the line was closed and dismantled in 1966. [8] The town was surveyed in 1916, and proposed to be named Mount Woakwine, but no action was taken to call it that. [1]

Mount Hope was part of the traditional territory of the Nauo. It was first traversed by Europeans when Edward John Eyre passed that way in 1839. [9] The school opened in 1911 and closed in 1974. [9] In 1912, it had an undenominational Sunday School run by the same teacher as taught in the school for the rest of the week. [10]

The 2016 Australian census which was conducted in August 2016 reports that Mount Hope had a population of 46 people. [2]

Mount Hope is located within the federal division of Grey, the state electoral district of Flinders and the local government area of the District Council of Lower Eyre Peninsula. [7] [1] [6]
