The property was established before 1878, [4] Wallerberdina was initially stocked with sheep and producing wool, under the ownership of Gooch and Hayward.

The property now covers 23,580 hectares (58,267 acres). [3] [1] In 2015, it was owned by South Australian Senator and Liberal Party president Grant Chapman. [1]

That year, Wallerberdina was short-listed as one of three potential sites for the National Radioactive Waste Management Facility [9] . [10] [11] [12] However, the project was scrapped in 2019 due to community opposition. [13]
