It spans roughly 24°00'S - 26°20'S in latitude and 121°40'E - 123°20'E in longitude. Its name honours Lawrence Allen Wells, an explorer of the area in 1896–1897.[1] It lies to the north of Lake Carnegie, and part of the Canning Stock Route passes through the north-west of the district. The district was created on 30 January 1925 and was defined in the Government Gazette:[2] {{cquote|Bounded by lines starting due East from the 547-mile post on the surveyed line of the No.1 Rabbit-proof Fence and due North from survey mark F. 46 at the Weld Springs, and extending East to a point due North from the summit of Kyffin Thomas Hill; thence South to the centre of Lake Wells; thence North-Westerly and Westerly along the centre of the said lake and the centres of Lakes Dorothena, Carnegie and Rudall, and the centre of the Charles Wells Creek to a point due South from the starting point, and hence due North to the said starting point.}}References1. ^{{Australian Dictionary of Biography |last= Steele |first= Christopher |year= 1990 |id= A120491B |title= Wells, Lawrence Allen (1860 - 1938) |accessdate= 7 December 2010}} Also "Index Map of Western Australia", Department of Lands and Surveys, 1949. {{Coord|25|15|S|122|30|E|display=title|region:AU-WA_type:landmark_scale:2000000}}{{Land districts of Western Australia}}{{WesternAustralia-geo-stub}}2. ^{{Gazette WA|file=7835/97|title=The Land Act, 1898.
