Shire of Euroa

The Shire of Euroa was a local government area about 145 km northeast of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia. The shire covered an area of 1412 km2, and existed from 1879 until 1994.

History
Euroa was originally within the Shire of Benalla (1868), and was severed and incorporated on 3 November 1879, as the Shire of Euroa. It lost parts of several ridings when the Shire of Violet Town was created on 11 April 1895, and part of its North Riding was annexed to the Shire of Shepparton on 24 May 1911.

On 18 November 1994, the Shire of Euroa was abolished, and along with the Shires of Goulburn and Violet Town, and some neighbouring districts, was merged into the newly created Shire of Strathbogie. The Arcadia and Karramomus districts were transferred to newly created City of Greater Shepparton, whilst the Terip Terip district was transferred to the newly created Shire of Murrindindi.
