The Shire of Numurkah was a local government area on the Murray River in the Goulburn Valley region about north of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia. The shire covered an area of , and existed from 1957 until 1994. ==History== Numurkah was once part of the vast Echuca Road District, formed in 1864 and a shire from 1871, which extended along the south bank of the Murray River from Mount Hope Creek in the west to the Ovens River in the east. Numurkah was part of the Shire of Shepparton when it incorporated on 30 May 1879. The southeastern section containing Shepparton itself split away on 18 September 1884, and was initially known as the Shire of South Shepparton. On 11 April 1885 the Shire of Shepparton was renamed ''Numurkah'', and South Shepparton was renamed ''Shepparton'' some months later. On 30 May 1892, Numurkah annexed the Moira Ward of Echuca, setting the shire's southwestern boundary at the Goulburn River. Some acrimony developed between the towns of Nathalia and Numurkah, which ended in 1957 with the Shire being renamed Nathalia, and the Shire of Numurkah severing and incorporating on 30 May 1957.〔 Accessed at State Library of Victoria, La Trobe Reading Room.〕 On 18 November 1994, the Shire was abolished, and merged with the Shires of Cobram, Nathalia, Tungamah and Yarrawonga into the Shire of Moira. 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 Numurkah」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
