Cherryville is a small town in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia. It was named in around 1840 after the native cherry trees that grew in the area,[2] although some historians claim that it was not named until 1892, when horticultural cherry plantings became widespread in the area.[3] Prior to this, land holdings were typically of around 100 acres (40 ha) and used primarily for pastoralism or small-scale vegetable gardens. At the 2006 census, Cherryville had a population of 238.[1]

Cherryville Post Office opened on 2 January 1899 and closed in 1974.[4]
