Stone Hut was founded in 1874 as a subdivision of part section 3522, Hundreds of Booyoolie and Appila by Robert Hall of Jamestown and John Henderson of Glen Osmond.
It was named for a four-room hut built in the early 1850s by stonemason Thomas Long, which served as a shelter for shepherds and later as a mail coach station for Cobb and Co on the route between Clare and Port Augusta.
