In November 1907 the Circular Head District Agricultural, Pastoral, Horticultural and Poultry Association held the first show on what was the old cricket ground. The present showground area was originally sand dunes and a rubbish tip. Up to 80 men with their horses and drays at voluntary working bees levelled and reclaimed the land to begin the formation of the current picturesque showground. The name was changed in 1916 to the current Circular Head Agricultural Society. Continuity of the annual show has been maintained with the only cancellations being due to an influenza epidemic in 1919, WWII years 1942-43, polio scare in 1949. In recent years, the 2020 and 2021 shows were cancelled due to theCovid-19 pandemic.
