History

In 1871, the York Road Board and York Municipal Council were gazetted as two separate entities. On 1 July 1961, they became respectively the York Shire Council and York Town Council following changes to the Local Government Act. The two entities merged on 15 March 1965. [WA Electoral Commission, "Municipality Boundary Amendments Register" (release 2.0), 31 May 2003.]

Wards

The council was previously split into three wards - Town (4 councillors), West (2 councillors) and East (3 councillors) - but these were abolished and an election for 6 councillors for the entire Shire was held on 6 May 2006.
