The shire covered an area of , and existed from 1875 until 1995. ==History== Lowan was originally part of the Shire of Wimmera, which incorporated in 1862. On 31 December 1875, Lowan became a shire in its own right. Several parts of the shire split away in its first 20 years; * the Shire of Dimboola severed from Lowan and incorporated on 2 April 1885; * the West Riding was severed, to form the Shire of Kaniva (Lawloit) on 29 May 1891; * the South Riding was severed, to form the Shire of Kowree on 29 May 1894. Like many western shires, it lost a remote section to its north, when the Shire of Walpeup was created on 1 November 1911.〔 Accessed at State Library of Victoria, La Trobe Reading Room.〕 On 20 January 1995, the Shire of Lowan was abolished, and, along with the Shire of Dimboola, was merged into the newly created Shire of Hindmarsh. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shire of Lowan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
