The Shire of Mount Magnet originated as the Mount Magnet Road District, established on 20 September 1901 covering the area surrounding (but initially not including) the town of Mount Magnet, which had already been incorporated as the Municipality of Mount Magnet in 1896.[1]
The road district absorbed the Mount Magnet municipality on 18 October 1918, and on 1 July 1961, it became a shire following passage of the Local Government Act 1960, which reformed all remaining road districts into shires.[1]
Wards
