History[edit]
In 1892, the Narrogin Road District came into being. On 1 July 1961, it became a Shire under the Local Government Act 1960.[2] In 1999 and 2004, proposals to merge the Shire with the Town of Narrogin were defeated at referendum.[3] In 2016, on July 1, the Shire of Narrogin amalgamated with the Town of Narrogin. The new entity retained the designation of Shire.
Wards[edit]
 | This section needs to be updated. (September 2016) |
