Boundaries were created in December 1998 for the “long established name” which is derived from Wangolina Station, once an outstation of the nearby Woolmit station but later a property in its own right.[9] The Wangolina drain joins the Butchers Gap Drain which is part of the drainage infrastructure built in the south east of the state since European settlement. Wangolina consists of land along the coastline associated with the Cape Jaffa promontory which its shares with the gazetted locality of Cape Jaffa. Wangolina has coastline frontage to both Lacepede Bay in the north and to the ocean in the south. The Southern Ports Highway passes through the locality from Kingston SE in the north to Robe in the south.[10][1]

The majority land use within the locality is agriculture with a strip of land adjoining the coastline being zoned for conservation.[11][1]

Wangolina is located within the federal division of Barker, the state electoral district of MacKillop and the local government area of the Kingston District Council.[5][4][1]

History

The traditional owners of the hundred are the Ngarrindjerri peoples.

The first Europeans to the area were Peron in 1903 and Freycinet of the Baudin expedition to Australia 1800 to 1803..
