The Hutt River, in the Clare Valley of South Australia was one of two creeks discovered by William Hill in 1839, who was a friend and contemporary of the explorer Edward John Eyre. He named the river after Sir William Hutt, who was one of the South Australian Colonization Commissioners in London. Sir William's brother John Hutt was originally recommended to become the first Governor of South Australia, but he turned it down in favour of John Hindmarsh. John Hutt later became Governor of Western Australia from 1839 until 184.
