[edit] History

The original Yalgoo Road Board was gazetted in 1896, and merged with the Shire of Mullewa in August 1911. The Upper Murchison Road Board, gazetted in 1907, was renamed to Yalgoo in 1912. On 1 July 1961, it became a Shire Council following changes to the Local Government Act.[1]

The shire is no longer divided into wards and the 7 councillors sit at large.
