The Shire of Yackandandah was a local government area about 290 kilometres (180 mi) northeast of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia. The shire covered an area of 1,148.75 square kilometres (443.5 sq mi), and existed from 1862 until 1994.




History


Yackandandah was incorporated as a road district on 8 August 1862, and became a shire on 30 December 1864. It was originally created with a larger area, but it lost land to the Shire of Chiltern in two transfers; on 14 May 1913 and 30 May 1917.
On 18 November 1994, the Shire of Yackandandah was abolished, and along with parts of the Shires of Beechworth, Chiltern and Rutherglen, was merged into the newly created Shire of Indigo. The Baranduda district was transferred to the Rural City of Wodonga, while the Dederang district was transferred into the newly created Alpine Shire.
