History


The Shire of Menzies originated as the Menzies Road District, which was established on 31 May 1912 after the subdivision of the North Coolgardie Road District into three separate road districts (Menzies, Kookynie and Mt Malcolm). The North Coolgardie Road District had absorbed three municipalities on 1 March 1912, including the Municipality of Menzies covering the Menzies township, but had quickly proven too large and cumbersome to administer and was broken up.[2]

The Kookynie Road District merged into the Menzies Road District in mid-1918.[3]

The Menzies Road District became a shire on 1 July 1961 under the Local Government Act 1960, which reformed all remaining road districts into shires.[2]
