The monument commemorates the centenary of Arthurton from 1877 to 1977.

It also commemorates the pioneers of Kalkabury, and C. H and R. B. Smith who were the inventors of the stump - jump plough.

Arthurton was established on 25 January 1877. It was named after Arthur, the son of South Australian Governor Anthony Musgrave, who insisted on this name after it had already been named "Kalkabury".
