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).
