Armagh is a small historic village in the western Clare Valley, about 137 km north of Adelaide, South Australia.
History
The village was named after the town and county of Armagh in Ireland. It was founded in 1850 to benefit from the new copper mine, operated bythe Royal Mining Company at nearby Emu Flat. The mine was built as part of a mania for copper mining prompted by the large copper finds at Burra and Kapunda but, though some mining efforts continued until 1910, was never successful commercially.
