Once the heart of a thriving farming community, Farrell Flat today is largely a satellite town to the larger towns nearby. It has retained its own identity, with a functioning hotel, cafe and meeting house, engineering business and grain silos.
The town was surveyed as Hanson in 1870 and did not officially become Farrell Flat until 19 September 1940.[4] The name Farrell's Flat had been in use for some time, this being the name of the railway station.[5] The nearby town of Davies was officially renamed to Hanson on 19 September 1940.[5]
Farrell Flat was named for Colonial Chaplain and Dean of Adelaide, James Farrell (26 November 1803 – 26 April 1869).[6]
