Penola, Administrative region in South Australia.
Located 388 kilometers southeast of Adelaide, Penola stands at the center of the Coonawarra wine region with a population of 1,376 residents.
Alexander Cameron established the private town of Panoola in 1850, constructing the Royal Oak Hotel to serve travelers heading to the Victorian goldfields.
The local Aboriginal Bindjali people named the area 'pena oorla', meaning wooden house, referring to the first pub built in the region.
The town operates under the Wattle Range Council jurisdiction, requiring property transactions to reference specific lot numbers and cadastral plans.
John Riddoch initiated agricultural changes in 1861 by introducing grape vines, leading to the establishment of the Penola Fruit Growing Colony.
