History

Kilmore was first incorporated as a road district on 15 July 1856. It became a borough in 1863 and a shire on 24 December 1874. It was redefined on 1 October 1890. On 28 May 1958, it annexed parts of the Shire of Romsey.[2]

On 20 January 1995, the Shire of Kilmore was abolished, and was merged into the Shire of Mitchell, which was created earlier in November 1994 after the merger of the Rural City of Seymour, the Shires of Broadford and Pyalong, and parts of the Shire of McIvor.[3]
