Edward Howard Bakewell (6 July 1859 – 31 March 1944) was a South Australian pastoralist, businessman and administrator. Born at North Adelaide, he was a son of Samuel Bakewell (ca.1815 – 22 September 1888), who arrived in South Australia in 1839,〔Samuel's brother William Bakewell also arrived in 1839, but on a different ship.〕 and his wife Eliza Hannah Bakewell (née Pye). He was among the earliest scholars at Prince Alfred College. On completing his education he joined the staff of the National Bank as a ledger-keeper,〔(S.A. Library Archives )〕 and after three years there he gained experience in the north of the State in flour milling and in the pastoral Industry. ==Pastoral interests== The pastoral industry particularly, attracted his attention, and for more than 50 years he was closely associated with it. For many years he was managing director of the Willowie Land and Pastoral Association Ltd., which held large freehold and leasehold properties in the northern parts of South Australia and the Northern Territory. For many years also he was general manager of the estate of the John Howard Angus, which included the famous Hill River Estate, Point Sturt Stud Cattle Estate, Kings-ford, and other northern properties. For 10 years he was managing partner of Coronga Park Station. NSW, and Tarella Station, near White Cliffs, New South Wales. For about 12 years he was managing director of Yalkuri Station, Lake Alexandrina.〔 Mr Bakewell was president of the Central Council of Employers for three and a half years, and president for two years of the Pastoralists' Association of SA. During his term of office the wool committees were formed to deal with the Australian wool clips under the British purchase scheme, and Bakewell represented South Australia on the committee. During his term of office as president of the Pastoralists' Association, Mr. Bakewell was instrumental in the formation of the first Stockowners Cooperative Shearing Company in Australia, and at the time of his death was chairman of the company. The idea adopted in South Australia has since been copied by the other States.〔 Bakewell, Northern Territory, a suburb of the City of Palmerston was named for him, as was Bakewell Street, Union Town, in the Victoria-Daly Shire Council.〔(N.T.
