Local government
On 14 November 1878, the
District Council of Hall was established, bringing local government to the hundred, following petitioning by resident landowners.
The five wards of Hall council were Hoyleton, Halbury, Wakefield, Woodlands and Watchman's Plains. The Watchman's Plains ward was moved to the
District Council of Balaklava in 1911, the Halbury and Wakefield wards to the same in 1935, and the Hoyleton and Woodlands wards to the
District Council of Blyth also in 1935.
From 1935 to 1997, the north and south parts of the hundred were locally governed by separate bodies: The south by Balaklava council then the
District Council of Wakefield Plains from 1983; the north by Blyth council then the
District Council of Blyth-Snowtown from 1987. In 1997 the merger of Wakefield Plains and Blyth-Snowtown councils brought the whole hundred back under the governance of a single local government with the creation of the
