History[edit]
In 1871, the Victoria Plains Road District was created over an area extending as far north as Carnamah and east to the South Australian border. These areas gradually obtained their own local government over the next 40 years. On 1 July 1961, the area that remained became the Shire of Victoria Plains under the Local Government Act 1960.[2]

The shire is divided into four wards.
