District Council Of Wirrega
The District Council of Wirrega was a short-lived local government area in South Australia in existence from 1884 to 1888. The introduction of local government to the Mallee region in the 1870s had been the subject of significant local conflict among the residents of the Hundreds of Wirrega and Tatiara, which would be described in 1880 as "at present...the only agricultural settlements in the South Australian mallee country". Some residents of both the Hundred of Wirrega and the Hundred of Tatiara had petitioned for their own District Councils in 1875, while others had protested against the creation of a council at all, stating that the area was "too small and scattered".

The advocates of the united council were successful, and the District Council of T ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
