It was proclaimed on 5 January 1888 under the District Councils Act 1887 with its seat being located in the town of Meningie.[3][4]

At establishment, it consisted of land in the hundreds of Baker, Bonney, Burdett, Coolinong, Glyde, Malcolm and Neville, Santo and Seymour and the part of the County of Cardwell located to the west of the hundreds of Glyde, Neville, and Santo.[3]
