History

Mildura was initially part of the Swan Hill district, which covered basically all of what is now northwestern Victoria. Swan Hill was incorporated on 8 July 1862, and became a shire on 14 August 1871. On 10 January 1890 the Shire of Mildura was incorporated from part of the Lower Murray Riding.[2]

A new shire, Walpeup, was formed in western Victoria on 1 October 1911, taking in some southern areas of Mildura and sections of five other shires. A small part of the Shire in and near Mildura severed on 18 May 1920 and incorporated as a borough, which became the City of Mildura on 21 March 1934. Parts of the Sandilong and Lake Ridings were annexed to the City on 1 October 1971.[2]

On 20 January 1995, the Shire was abolished, and merged with the City of Mildura and Shire of Walpeup into the Rural City of Mildura.[3]

Wards

The City of Mildura was not divided into wards, and its nine councillors represented all electors of the City.
