The District Council of Kondoparinga was established in 1853, bringing local government to the hundred as well as parts of the westerly adjacent Hundred of Kuitpo. The Kondoparinga council was abolished in 1935 by amalgamation with Echunga, Clarendon and Macclesfield councils into the new District Council of Meadows.

Etymology

The name Kondoparinga was once thought to be a Kaurna word meaning "long winding water, breeding crawfish, between steep banks" but contemporary linguists are highly doubtful and suggest a more literal meaning of "chest river place" based on kondo meaning "chest", pari meaning "river" and the locative suffix ngga.{{Citation |chapter-url=http://press-files.anu.edu.au/downloads/press/p29191/pdf/ch125.pdf |last1=Amery |first1=Rob |chapter=Chapter 12.

It is almost certain that Kondoparinga consists of just three morphemes, possibly kundo 'chest' + parri 'river' + -ngga 'LOC' (i.e. 'chest river place').}}
