Its boundaries were created in March 2002 for the “long established name” which was derived from the cadastral unit of the Hundred of Haines.[2][10]

The principal land use in the locality is primary production with land along the coastline and land occupied by the Beyeria Conservation Park being both zoned for conservation purposes.[11][2]

Haines is located within the federal division of Mayo, the state electoral district of Mawson and the local government area of the Kangaroo Island Council.[6][5][2]
