District Council Of Cleve
The District Council of Cleve is a local government area on the eastern Eyre Peninsula in South Australia.

The district's major towns were well established when the new council was announced, with Cleve established in 1879 and Arno Bay in 1883 under the name of 'Bligh'. Darke Peak was established in 1914, only three years after the council came into being.
