Shire of Mukinbudin: History
Initially, Mukinbudin was governed by the Merredin Road District, and then from 1921 the Nungarin Road District.
The Shire of Mukinbudin originated as the Mukinbudin Road District, established with effect from 1 November 1933, having separated from Nungarin due to a growing population. 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 the Local Government Act 1960, which reformed all remaining road districts into shires.
