James Byrne was Assistant Surveyor for the County in 1832. In 1835 Argyle had a magistrate and police force. In 1852 it had an area of 1,248,600 acres (5,053 km2) and population of 5,565.

The Greater Argyle Council was formed in 2004 after a proposal to make a new local government area to focus on the County of Argyle, formed from an amalgamation of the former City of Goulburn and parts of Mulwaree Shire. It was renamed the Goulburn Mulwaree Council in October 2004. (en)
