The plaque commemorates 100 years of local government in the Warragul Shire.

Originally part of the Shire of Buln Buln, Warragul was first incorporated as a shire on 9 December 1881. It annexed part of the Western Riding of Shire of Narracan on 30 May 1906. On 17 August 1990 Warragul was proclaimed a Rural City, one of the first in Victoria under the provisions of the Local Government Act 1989.

On 2 December 1994, the City was abolished, and merged with Shire of Buln Buln, Shire of Narracan and parts of Upper Yarra into the Shire of Baw Baw.
