District Council of Spalding

It was proclaimed on 30 July 1885 by Governor William C. F. Robinson, comprising the Hundreds of Reynolds and Andrews as far south as the northern boundary of Euromina.

[1] It followed significant agitation by residents for a local municipality, with the boundaries having been the subject of some dispute.

[5][1] In 1936, the municipality was reported to cover 240 square miles, and was described as "one of the most prosperous districts in the state".

It operated the former Spalding hospital building as a surgery for visiting doctors, and was involved in the construction of the Soldiers' War Memorial and the Bowling Club.

[7][8] In 1986, the council covered a largely rural area of 525 square kilometres, with a population of 550, 250 of them in the township of Spalding itself.
