Euroa, Victoria, Australia: Shire of Euroa, 1980. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Good/No Jacket. 328 pages b/w photos - The Shire of Euroa was a local government area about 145 kilometres (90 mi) northeast of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia. The shire covered an area of 1,412 square kilometres (545.2 sq mi), and existed from 1879 until 1994. 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 part 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 was abolished, and merged with the Shires of Goulburn and Violet Town and some neighbouring districts into the Shire of Strathbogie. The Arcadia and Karramomus districts transferred to City of Greater Shepparton, whilst the Terip Terip district transferred to the Shire of Murrindindi.
