The Hundred of Ketchowla is a cadastral unit of hundred, the boundaries of which are exactly contiguous with the locality of Pine Creek.[3] The hundred was proclaimed by Governor William Jervois on 5 August 1880, named for an Aboriginal name of unknown origin.[7]

Ketchowla Station is named after the hundred and the station's homestead is located within Pine Creek.[6] A post office at Ketchowla opened circa 1872 and closed on 30 November 1917.[8] The Ketchowla Woolshed, Old Homestead and Outbuildings are listed on the South Australian Heritage Register.[9]

The 2016 Australian census which was conducted in August 2016 reports that Pine Creek had no people living within its boundaries.[2]

Note that there are several creeks in South Australia called Pine Creek, including a tributary that joins the River Wakefield at Undalya and forms part of the boundary between the Hundred of Upper Wakefield[10] and the Hundred of Saddleworth.[11] Use the South Australia Property and Planning Atlas (SAPPA) to find all creeks and homesteads in South Australia called Pine Creek.
