Shire of Charlton

The Shire of Charlton was a local government area about 240 kilometres (149 mi) north-northwest of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia. The shire covered an area of 1,175 square kilometres (453.7 sq mi), and existed from 1895 until 1995.

Charlton was first incorporated as a shire on 28 May 1895, upon the severance of portions of the Shires of Gordon, Kerang and St Arnaud.

On 20 January 1995, the Shire of Charlton was abolished, and along with the Shires of Birchip, Donald and Wycheproof, and parts of the Shire of Kara Kara, was merged into the newly created Shire of Buloke.

The Shire of Charlton was divided into three ridings on 25 May 1988, each of which elected three councillors:

* Council seat.

* Estimate in the 1958 Victorian Year Book.
