History
In 1894 the townsite of Coolgardie was proclaimed a municipality and the boundaries defined. The boundaries were extended in 1895, and in 1896 the title of chairman of the Municipal Council was changed to Mayor. In 1898 the population of the municipality was declared to be over 5000 and the municipality was divided into 4 wards. Boundaries were altered. In 1901 the population was declared to be over 1000 and under 5000; the wards were abolished. In 1921 the Coolgardie Municipality was abolished and included in the Coolgardie Road District.
