History

The Arthur Road District was created in 1887, and was renamed Wagin in 1905. In July 1906 a separate Municipality of Wagin was created to serve the town, while the Road District continued to serve the surrounding area. In 1961 the Municipality was abolished, and a new Town Ward was created within the district.

On 1 July 1961, it became a Shire under the Local Government Act 1960.^[2]

Wards

The shire was divided into wards until 1991, but wards were abolished and councillors now sit at large. {{As of|2014}} there were 11 councillors.
