Most of its territory is covered by deserts, including the part of the Great Sandy Desert, Gibson Desert and Great Victoria Desert.^[1]

History

The Eastern Land Division was created on 2 March 1887, in a reform to the land divisions.^[2] On 28 March 1917, the Central Land Division had been incorporated into the Eastern Land Division.^[3] The current boundaries of the land enacted on 30 March 1998.^[1]^[4]
