Verdun is a small town in the Adelaide Hills, Australia, on the road from Hahndorf to Balhannah. At the 2011 Australian Census the town recorded a population of 662.[1]
Verdun is approximately 4 km from Hahndorf and 5 km from Bridgewater. There is one school, one pub and a general store.
Verdun originally had the German name Grunthal,[2] after being named by the Prussian settlers who established the town. The town was renamed in 1917 after one of the bloodiest battles of the First World War, the Battle of Verdun.
The Hills Christian Community School opened in February 1983 at the site of the former Verdun Primary School.[3]
