Shire of Ripon

The Shire of Ripon was a local government area about 160 kilometres (99 mi) west-northwest of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia. The shire covered an area of 1,533 square kilometres (591.9 sq mi), and existed from 1861 until 1994.

Ripon was incorporated as a road district on 12 April 1861, and became a shire on 18 December 1863.

On 23 September 1994, the Shire of Ripon was abolished, and along with the Shire of Lexton and parts of the Shire of Avoca, was merged into the newly created Shire of Pyrenees.

Ripon was divided into three ridings, each of which elected three councillors:

* Council seat.

* Estimate in the 1958 Victorian Year Book.
