Nangkita is a rural locality on Fleurieu Peninsula in South Australia, south of the capital, Adelaide.
Nangkita was founded as a Village Settlement in the 1890s as a commune in a scheme set up by the South Australian government under Part VII of the Crown Lands Amendment Act 1893,[1] intended to mitigate the effects of the depression then affecting the Colony. The settlement grew a magnificent crop of tobacco, but the potato and onion crops were ravaged by grubs.[2] The commune closed not long after that.[3]
