History
In 1892, the Narrogin Road District came into being. On 1 July 1961, it became a Shire under the Local Government Act 1960.[2] In 1999 and 2004, proposals to merge the Shire with the Town of Narrogin were defeated at referendum.[3]
Wards
The shire had four wards until the 2005 election, but they have since been abolished. Seven councillors now sit at large.
