Before the Serpentine Road Board was gazetted in 1896, the area was governed by the Canning Road Board. In 1902, the Jarrahdale Road Board was formed, and the two Road Boards, Serpentine and Jarrahdale, functioned independently for almost a decade.

In 1913, the Serpentine and Jarrahdale Road Boards combined to become the Serpentine Jarrahdale Road Board. In July 1961, the Serpentine-Jarrahdale Road Board became the Shire of Serpentine Jarrahdale when seven Road Board members were sworn in as Shire Councillors. (Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale website)
