History
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Mildura was initially part of the Swan Hill Road 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 parts 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 was 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 City of Mildura was abolished, and, along with the Shires of Mildura and Walpeup, was merged into the newly created Rural City of Mildura.[3]
The City of Mildura was not divided into wards, and its nine councillors represented all electors of the city.
