On 17 May 1960, the Shire of Myrtleford was created out of its western border region.cite book|title=Victorian Municipal Directory|year=1992|publisher=Arnall & Jackson|location=Brunswick|pages=607-608 Accessed at State Library of Victoria, La Trobe Reading Room.]

On 18 November 1994, the Shire was abolished, and was reunited with the Shire of Myrtleford and various surrounding districts to form the Alpine Shire.
