The Shire was created by the Local Government (Shires) Act 1905. Previously there had been no local government in the region. Gosford Municipality, which had been established in 1886, was merged into Erina Shire in 1908. In 1928, part of Erina Shire was split off to create Woy Woy Shire. In 1936, Gosford was again separated from Erina Shire as a new municipality.
At the end of 1946, Erina Shire, Woy Woy Shire and Gosford Municipality were all dissolved, and replaced by Wyong Shire and Gosford Shire (subsequently the City of Gosford).

gollark: Ah, power creep.
gollark: I only have about 400 million RF of buffer.
gollark: I mean, the lava is easier to store than RF, that's true.
gollark: It would probably be more efficient to just, well, use solar.
gollark: I mean, I can make lava, just at a power loss. I'm going to be making a new, probably passively cooled reactor soon anyway, to handle the neptunium and stuff from this one.
