The system of land districts came together in an ad-hoc fashion, and the Sussex district started to be subdivided in 1840 well before any thought was given to formally defining its boundaries.[2] The definition later used by the Lands and Surveys department came from an 1862 gazettal which read as follows:[3]
Bounded on the North by an East line from the sea-coast to Capel River through the North end of Wonnerup Inlet, then by said river upwards to location 171 (exclusive), then by a South-easterly line to junction of Padbury Brook with the River Blackwood; on the West and South by the sea-coast; and on the East by the Blackwood downwards to its junction with a South line through Black Point, thence by that line to the sea-coast.

Under the Land Act 1898, the Agricultural Lands Purchase Act 1896, and preceding regulations, it was open to the Governor to declare agricultural areas on crown land or repurchased estates on private land, to which special provisions applied for both alienation and improvement. Many of these estates came into being shortly after World War I for the purposes of soldier resettlement.
