Local government

The District Council of Crystal Brook was established in 1882 covering a small part of the hundred centred on the township of Crystal Brook. The hundred was fully absorbed into the council in 1888 was part of the District Councils Act 1887 along with the hundreds of Napperby and Howe, and the unincorporated portion of the Hundred of Pirie. Four years later, the council was reduced in size to cover just the Hundred of Crystal Brook and the south half of the Hundred of Napperby.

From 1988 the hundred continued to be locally governed as the Town, East and West wards of the District Council of Crystal Brook-Redhill following amalgamation of Crystal Brook and Redhill councils.

From 1997 the hundred became part of the much larger Port Pirie Regional Council following a merger between Crystal Brook-Redhill and the Port Pirie City councils.
