History

St Arnaud was first incorporated as a municipal district on 16 August 1861. It became a borough on 1 October 1863 and a town on 17 October 1950.[2]

On 20 January 1995, the town was abolished and merged with City of Stawell, most of the Shires of Stawell and Kara Kara, the Grampians National Park within the Shire of Wimmera and parts of the Shires of Ararat, Avoca, Donald and Dunmunkle into the Shire of Northern Grampians.[3]

The Town of St Arnaud was not subdivided into wards, and the nine councillors represented the entire area.
