History

The Mooradung Road District was established on 19 May 1892. It was renamed the Marradong Road District on 30 October 1903.
The board initially convened at Marradong 8 km to the south of Boddington, but relocated to Boddington in 1925 after the arrival of the railway and construction of suitable buildings. On 1 July 1961, the Marradong Road District became the Shire of Boddington following the passage of the Local Government Act 1960, which reformed all remaining road districts into shires.
