==History==
The town of Stirling North was surveyed in 1859 as "Stirling North" after Edward Stirling Snr, MLC,〔 but was renamed 'Catninga' after a nearby creek. In 1916 however, this decision was overturned and the name was reverted to 'Stirling North'.〔
In 1871, a prison was established near the town,〔 and still exists today.〔
The town has existed mainly to service the railroads, with Leigh Creek coal freighted down to Port Augusta for use in the power station. The historic Pichi Richi Railway runs through Stirling North, between Port Augusta and Quorn, one of the only tourist attractions within the town.〔
