The Hundred of Napperby is a small farming community 11 kilometres east of Port Pirie, South Australia. It is nestled against the west face of the Southern Flinders Ranges.
The area was originally part of the Bowman Brothers pastoral lease, before being divided up for a hundred. The Hundred was named by Governor Musgrave on 11th June 1874 and took the name from the Native language. Thomas Brown Turner was the first land holder in the area, taking up land in 1874.
