History

The name and boundaries of the district were first proposed on 24 July 1902 by the chief draftsman, with the spelling "Thadoona".[1] It was later altered to Thaduna, and gazetted accordingly on 4 March 1903.[2] It was later adjusted to make the rabbit-proof fence the eastern boundary of the district.[3] On 17 June 1960, its spelling was changed to "Thadoona" to better conform with the correct Aboriginal pronunciation of the name.[4]

gollark: Probably. They use rather unclear language.
