History

Sale was first incorporated as a borough on 10 August 1863, and was extended on 24 December 1873. It became a town on 17 September 1924, and was proclaimed a city on 31 May 1950. In 1966-1967, it annexed a small area to its east and north-east from the Shire of Avon.

On 2 December 1994, the City of Sale was abolished, and, along with the Shires of Alberton, Avon and Maffra and parts of the Shire of Rosedale, was merged into the newly created Shire of Wellington.
