Fisher consists of land in the northern part of the cadastral unit of the Hundred of Fisher with a smaller portion extending to the north into the hundred of Skurray. The portion within the Hundred of Fisher is bounded to the north and to the west by the boundaries of the hundred, to the south by the Stott Highway and to the east in two parts - the centre-line of the channel of the Murray River in the north and the Murraylands Road in the south.[1]
The locality’s name is derived from the Hundred of Fisher. Its boundaries were created on 27 March 2003 for the "local established name".[1][3]
