Farrell Flat is a small town in South Australia. It used to be called Hanson. You can find it about 20 kilometers (12 miles) east of Clare. It's also about 22 kilometers (14 miles) southwest of Burra.
Long ago, Farrell Flat was a busy place for farmers. Now, it's more of a smaller town that supports bigger towns nearby. But it still has its own special feel! You can find a hotel, a cafe, and a community hall. There's also an engineering business and big grain silos.
The town was first planned out in 1870. Back then, it was named Hanson. It didn't officially become Farrell Flat until September 19, 1940. The name "Farrell's Flat" was already used for the local railway station. On the same day, a nearby town called Davies was officially renamed to Hanson.
Farrell Flat was once part of the Roseworthy-Peterborough railway line. The very last train traveled through Farrell Flat in 2004.
Farrell Flat was named after a person named James Farrell. He was a priest and a church leader in Adelaide. He lived from 1803 to 1869.
