The Serpentine-Jarrahdale Road District was established on 8 August 1913 with the amalgamation of the Serpentine Road District (1894) and Jarrahdale Road District (1902).[2][3][4]

The Shire was previously split into four wards named: Byford, Central, North West and South. Recently, the boundaries were realigned and on 29 July 2011, the gazetted[5] boundaries became:
Elections to fill all positions in these new wards were called for 15 October 2011. The latest council elections were held on 16 October 2021 and confirmed Michelle Rich as Shire President and Dave Atwell as her deputy.[6]
