Wyndham Road District was proclaimed on 6 October 1862. It became the Shire of Wyndham in 1864. Its name was changed to the Shire of Werribee in 1909 following an Order made by the Governor in Council published in the Victorian Government Gazette on 15 December 1909 on which date the Order became effective.
The Shire of Werribee was abolished on 15 December 1994 as part of a state-wide program of local government reform enacted between 1993 and 1995. The reform process reduced the number of councils from 210 to 78. The Wyndham City Council (VA 3726 City of Wyndham) was appointed as the successor in law of the City of Werribee and has assumed its rights, assets and liabilities.
