Towitta is a locality in the Murray Mallee region of South Australia at the foot of the eastern side of the Mount Lofty Ranges. It is a rural community dominated by growing cereal grain crops. Its name is taken from Tewitty, the native name of a permanent spring nearby.[3] The town was surveyed by H.C. Talbot in March 1876, and the Towitta public school was open from 1880 to 1942.[4]
The murder of Bertha Schippan in January 1902 occurred on a farm to the north of the township of Towitta. Her sister Mary was later acquitted in Adelaide of the murder, which has never been officially solved.[5] In 1984, the ABC produced a television film titled The Schippan Mystery covering the case.
