The City of Stawell was a local government area about 230 km west-northwest of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia. The city covered an area of 23.73 km2, and existed from 1869 until 1995. Its area was surrounded by the separate and largely rural Shire of Stawell.
History
Stawell was incorporated as a borough on 12 November 1869, and became a town on 18 September 1957. It was proclaimed a city on 12 November 1989.
On 20 January 1995, the City of Stawell was abolished, and along with the Town of St Arnaud and parts of the Shires of Ararat, Avoca, Donald, Dunmunkle, Kara Kara, Stawell and the Grampians National Park section of the Shire of Wimmera, was merged into the newly created Shire of Northern Grampians.
Wards
The City of Stawell was at one stage divided into wards, but they were abolished on 27 January 1965, after which the twelve councillors represented the entire area.
