History
In 1909, WH Bland and his wife settled at Cokine Spring. The first Shackleton football game was held at the Bland's "Wirrilli" Homestead. In 1913 AWH Hills applied for a private liquor license which was subsequently dismissed due to the town not having been surveyed by the Government, although the rail from Quairading came through in 1912. Dr Jermyn undertook a private survey in 1913. He was the unofficial medical officer in the district and after war service, did not return to the district, although the main street commemorates him; Jermyn Street. In 1916, Shackleton connected to the Goldfields Water Scheme and although it was proposed for Kwolyin, the property owners through which the 25 miles of pipeline passed, objected and it was not connected in Kwolyin. Similarly, railway barracks proposed for Kwolyin were rejected and located in Shackleton. Shackleton progressed and businesses from Kwolyin moved to Shackleton. Shackleton was not gazetted unitl 26th June 1925 and then only got rating reasons. In 1947 three street names were changed to honour soldiers kelled in WWII; Irvine St to Venemore St; Strobe St to Langdon St; Smith St to Mill St.
The boundaries of the town proper were established on 21st April 1951.
