It was established on 1 January 1958 following the amalgamation of the Municipality of Scone with the original Upper Hunter Shire.[2] The shire had surrounded the municipality and the offices of both had been located in the town.[3][4]

It amalgamated with parts of the abolished Merriwa Shire and Murrurundi Shire to form a new, larger Upper Hunter Shire on 17 March 2004.[5]
