Wellington County was one of the 26 counties of Western Australia that were designated in 1829 as cadastral divisions. It was named after Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, Commander-in-Chief of the British Army from 1827-1828. It approximately corresponds to the Wellington Land District which forms the basis for land titles in the area.
