Trihi was once a small area, or 'locality', in the south-east of South Australia. It was about 343 kilometers (213 miles) south-east of Adelaide, the state's capital. It was also about 25 kilometers (15 miles) north-east of Millicent.
Trihi got its name as a locality in 1997, under a law called the Geographical Names Act 1991. Its borders were officially set in 2001. The area was named after Trihi Lagoon. On November 26, 2015, Trihi stopped being a separate locality. Its land was then split between two other areas: Kalangadoo and Mount McIntyre.
