The shelter commemorates former Shire of Lexton councillors and employees. 

The Shire of Lexton was a local government area about 150 kilometres northwest of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria.  The Shire covered an area of 821.03 square kilometres and existed from 1860 until 1994.

On 23 September 1994, the Shire of Lexton was abolished, and, along with the Shire of Ripon, and parts of the Shire of Avoca, was merged into the newly created Shire of Pyrenees.
