Redhill was established in the late nineteenth century under the name of Broughton, with a hotel, blacksmith, general store and other businesses built within the township. A primary school operated in the town for many years. Several churches were also built in the township and there is also a cemetery on the town's south eastern outskirts. The town now has a small museum opposite the hotel (Eureka Hotel), located in the former District Council of Redhill offices.
It was renamed as Redhill in 1940, but was known by that name well before then.The Redhill Geological Site on the Redhill to Yacka Road is listed on the South Australian Heritage Register.
