It was established as the Albany Road District on 10 April 1896.[1]

A section of the district was separated to form the new Denmark Road District on 22 September 1911.[1]

The Albany Road District was declared a shire and named the Shire of Albany with effect from 1 July 1961 following the passage of the Local Government Act 1960, which reformed all remaining road districts into shires.[1]

It amalgamated with the Town of Albany to become the City of Albany on 1 July 1998.[1] At the time of amalgamation, it had thirteen councillors and five wards, with Harbour Ward (five councillors) and four others (including Hassell and Millbrook) with two councillors each.
