Glenelg was first incorporated as a road district on 2 September 1863, and became a shire on 30 June 1864.[2]
On 23 September 1994, the Shire of Glenelg was abolished, and along with the City of Portland and parts of the Shire of Heywood, was merged into the new Shire of Glenelg.[3]
Glenelg was not subdivided into ridings, and its 12 councillors represented the entire shire.
