Peterborough is located on the fringe of the Flinders Ranges. It is a historic railway town built around the railways over a period of 100 years, which grew from a small farming settlement.

The local industry now focuses on tourism, and promoting the town as a pleasant place to visit and explore. Be welcomed to Peterborough by the scale model steam trains, which have been built by a local community member and placed at all 4 entrances to town.
