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 was abolished, and merged with the Town of St Arnaud, 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.
The City of Stawell was at one stage divided into wards, but they were abolished on 27 January 1965 and the 12 councillors represented the entire area.
