Local government came to the Hundred of English when the District Council of English was established on 31 October 1878, with boundaries the same as the hundred.[3] The Hundred of English became the English and Point Pass wards of the District Council of Robertstown in 1932. It became part of the much larger Regional Council of Goyder in 1997.[4]
