The Shire of Marble Bar was a local government area in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
It was established as the Bamboo Road District on 4 September 1896, and was based in the now-former town of Bamboo Creek.[1][2] The first election was held in January 1897.[3][4]
It was renamed the Marble Bar Road District on 28 March 1904, after which the board seat moved to Marble Bar.[1][5]
It was declared a shire and named the Shire of Marble Bar with effect from 1 July 1961 following the passage of the Local Government Act 1960, which reformed all remaining road districts into shires.[1]
The shire ceased to exist on 27 May 1972, when it amalgamated with the Shire of Nullagine to form the Shire of East Pilbara.[1]
Senator and Liberal Party powerbroker Noel Crichton-Browne and state parliamentarians George Miles and Arthur Bickerton served on the board before their respective elections to parliament, with Miles serving as road board chairman and Crichton-Browne as shire president.
