History

[edit]

The Katanning Road District was gazetted on 18 May 1892. On 1 July 1961, it became a Shire following the passage of the Local Government Act 1960, which reformed all remaining road districts into shires.[2]

Indigenous people

[edit]

The larger eastern part of the shire, up to Katanning itself, is located on the traditional land of the Koreng people.[3][4] The smaller western part, west of Katanning, is located on the traditional land of the Kaneang people, with both being of the Noongar nation.[5][6][7]
