Borough of Kerang

Kerang_(Borough)_Council_1994.jpg

Formed in 1966, the Borough of Kerang covered the Kerang township and surrounds.

Kerang was originally part of the Swan Hill Road District, which covered most of north-western Victoria, and was incorporated in 1862, becoming a shire on 14 August 1871.

After several other areas severed from the shire, it was renamed the Shire of Kerang on 31 December 1898.

The area around Kerang was incorporated as the Borough of Kerang on 1 April 1966.
