In 1936, the principal towns were described as Aberdeen, Ayers, Booborowie, Davies, Farrell Flat, Kooringa and Mount Bryan. (Today, Aberdeen and Kooringa are now part of Burra, the Hundred of Ayers is divided between Booborowie, North Booborowie and Leighton, and Davies was renamed Hanson). It was divided into eight wards (Baldina, Booborowie, Farrell's Flat, Hanson, Kooringa, Leighton, Mongolata and Mount Bryan). The population of the district in 1936 was 2,076, living in approximately 530 dwellings. The annual revenue of the district was £3,250. In 1943, the council relocated the offices and council chamber to the former Commercial Bank building upon the bank's withdrawal from Burra. It moved again in 1980, occupying the former Farmers' Union and RSL clubrooms.
