History
From 1879 until 1961, Traralgon was part of the shire which surrounded it. On 31 May 1961, it was incorporated as a borough, and on 2 April 1964, it was proclaimed a city.
On 2 December 1994, the City of Traralgon was abolished, and, along with the Cities of Moe and Morwell, the Shire of Traralgon, and parts of the Shires of Narracan and Rosedale, was merged into the newly created City of Latrobe.
The City of Traralgon was unsubdivided, and its 12 councillors represented the entire city.
