History

On 26 October 1926, it annexed part of the North Riding of the Shire of Ararat.cite book|title=Victorian Municipal Directory|year=1992|publisher=Arnall & Jackson|location=Brunswick|pages=840-841 Accessed at State Library of Victoria, La Trobe Reading Room.]

On 20 January 1995, the Shire was abolished, and merged with Town of St Arnaud, City of Stawell, most of the Shire of Kara Kara, the Grampians National Park within the Shire of Wimmera and parts of the Shires of Ararat, Avoca, Donald and Dunmunkle into the Shire of Northern Grampians. The Armstrong district passed into the Rural City of Ararat.
