Hundred of Glyde (Northern Territory)

The Hundred of Glyde is a cadastral unit of land division located within the Northern Territory of Australia. Hundreds are a historical land division used in some Australian states and territories for administrative and land management purposes.

In the Northern Territory, Hundreds are smaller subdivisions within larger land divisions called Counties. They are not currently used for administrative purposes, and their primary function is as a historical reference point for land titles and survey information.

The Hundred of Glyde is situated within the County of Playford. Like other Hundreds in the Northern Territory, its boundaries are defined by lines of longitude and latitude, rather than physical features such as rivers or ridgelines. The term "Hundred" is a legacy of British land division practices, though the size and purpose of Hundreds in Australia have varied significantly compared to their British counterparts.

While the Hundred of Glyde does not hold modern administrative significance, it remains a crucial element in understanding the historical development of land ownership and surveying practices within the Northern Territory. Information about the Hundred is held within government land registry records and may be relevant for historical research, genealogical studies, and clarifying historical land titles.
