Snowtown was proclaimed in 1878. Governor Jervois named it after one of his staff but as he had two gentlemen named Snow on his payroll no one is 100% sure which has the honour. Perhaps it was both. It was created as a service town for the local farming community, built on the main road north and adjacent to the railway. Today it is clearly in decline but there are some interesting buildings.
