History

The Irwin Road District was created in 1871 as one of the first regional local government areas in Western Australia. On 16 June 1916, Irwin received a large land area from the Upper Irwin Road Board shortly before that entity's dissolution. In the 1920s, the Carnamah and Three Springs districts were split away from Irwin. On 1 July 1961, it became a shire under the Local Government Act 1960.[2]
