The government town of Karte was proclaimed on 8 June 1916 on land in the cadastral unit of the Hundred of Kingsford to the immediate north-west of the Karte Railway Station.[6][3] The town was named after the railway station which was a stop on the now-closed Peebinga railway line and whose name is derived from an aboriginal word mean “a low thick scrub.”[10] The boundaries for the locality were created on 12 August 1999 and includes the site of the government town of Karte which is located in its south-west immediately north of the Karte Conservation Park.[1][4]

Land use within the locality is mainly concerned with “primary production” while some land in its south-west and north is occupied respectively by the Karte and Peebinga Conservation Parks and is zoned for “conservation”.[11]

The 2016 Australian census which was conducted in August 2016 reports that Karte had a population of 27.[2]

Karte is located within the federal division of Barker, the state electoral district of Hammond and the local government area of the Southern Mallee District Council.[8][7][1]
