Local government
The District Council of Tantanoola was established out of the Tantanoola Drainage District in 1888, bringing local government to the hundred for the first time. Tantanoola council was amalgamated into the District Council of Millicent circa 1950s and ultimately became part of Wattle Range Council when Millicent was amalgamated with its neighbouring local councils in 1997.
