The Shire of Kent was first established in 1923 as the Kent Road Board. In 1955 the name was changed to the Nyabing-Pingrup Road Board and retained this name in 1961 when it became a shire. The name was further altered in 1973 to the Shire of Kent. The name ‘Kent’ apparently comes from the commissariat officer of Dr T Wilson’s expedition of 1829. (Shire of Kent website)
