The chair commemorates the centenary of the District Council of Tumby Bay from 1906 to 2006. Brick pavers inset into the pavement at the base of the chair list the names of former Chairmen. 

The Tumby Bay District Council is a local government area of South Australia covering an area of the North Eastern Eyre Peninsula. It was established in 1906, only six years after the town of Tumby Bay was established, when the district was severed from the former District Council of Lincoln (now the District Council of Lower Eyre Peninsula) to form the present council.
