History
The Warracknabeal area was initially within the St Arnaud Road District, first created in 1861, which became a Shire in 1864. On 30 January 1891, its West Riding was severed to create the Shire of Borung. Several boundary changes occurred between 1891 and 1916:
- 12 May 1893 - Borung annexed the East Riding of the Shire of Dimboola, which became the West Riding.
- 22 May 1896 - Parts of Borung was annexed by the Shire of Birchip.
- 29 May 1896 - Borung lost part of its North and West Ridings, which became the Shire of Karkarooc, but gained part of the Shire of Wimmera. This addition was adjusted on 9 April 1897.
- 21 May 1916 - Borung lost parts of its East and South Ridings to the Shire of Dunmunkle, to form that Shire's North Riding.
On 7 September 1938, Borung was formally renamed Warracknabeal.[2]
On 20 January 1995, the Shire of Warracknabeal was abolished, and along with parts of the Shires of Dunmunkle, Karkarooc and Wimmera, was merged into the newly created Shire of Yarriambiack.[3]
