History

[edit]

Initially, Mukinbudin was governed by the Merredin Road District, and then from 1921 the Nungarin Road District.

The Shire of Mukinbudin originated as theMukinbudin Road District,established with effect from 1 November 1933, having separated from Nungarin due to a growing population.[2][3]Its first election was held on 18 November 1933, and Thomas Basil Conway was elected its inaugural chairman at its first meeting.

On 1 July 1961, it became a Shire following the passage of theLocal Government Act 1960,which reformed all remaining road districts into shires.[2]
