The City of Moe was a local government area about 130 kilometres (81 mi) east-southeast of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia. The city covered an area of 47 square kilometres (18.1 sq mi), and existed from 1955 until 1994.

History

Moe was, for most of its history, part of the Shire of Narracan, which was first incorporated in 1878. Its growth as an industrial centre, due to nearby coal-mining in the Latrobe Valley, resulted in a boom in population, and ultimately in its severance and incorporation as the Borough of Moe on 28 August 1955. On 6 March 1963, it was proclaimed a city. On 1 October 1990, further land was annexed to the city from Narracan.[2]

On 2 December 1994, the City of Moe was abolished, and, along with the Cities of Morwell and Traralgon, the Shire of Traralgon, and parts of the Shires of Narracan and Rosedale, was merged into the newly created City of Latrobe.[3]

gollark: You could, but hash functions are designed not to exhibit any patterns.

gollark: This sort of thing is very good at the particular task it's optimized for, but expensive (initial-cost-wise, it's easy to churn out more of them) and entirely unable to do anything else, unlike general-purpose CPUs/GPUs, which are also hilariously expensive in initial investment but can do basically anything and are reusable all over the place.

gollark: Fortunately, we have good cryptography now as export controls were stupid and didn't actually work.

gollark: Well, "very good" varies.

gollark: Also, you shouldn't avoid asking questions, but remember that AI things are hard, don't work like humans, and aren't magic but very good pattern-matchy algorithms.
