History

Rutherglen was first incorporated as a district on 12 September 1862, and became a shire on 16 June 1871. Part of its Lilliput Riding was lost to the Shire of Chiltern in February 1917. On 15 December 1920, the Borough of Rutherglen, which had been gazetted on 12 September 1862 with an area of convert|518|ha|acre|0, was merged into the Shire as its Central Riding.cite book|title=Victorian Municipal Directory|year=1992|publisher=Arnall & Jackson|location=Brunswick|pages=826-827 Accessed at State Library of Victoria, La Trobe Reading Room.]

On 18 November 1994, the Shire was abolished, and merged with most of the Shires of Beechworth, Chiltern and Yackandandah into the Shire of Indigo.
