The Shire of Oxley was a local government area in Victoria, Australia, immediately to the south of the city of Wangaratta, which housed the shire's council chambers. Oxley covered an area of {{convert|2789.2|km2|sqmi|2}}, and existed from 1862 until 1994.

History

The Oxley Road District was incorporated on 21 November 1862, and became a shire on 12 December 1865 after changes to local government legislation. Subsequently, it was divided into Eastern, Central and Western ridings, each of which elected three councillors.[2] On 18 November 1994, the Shire was annexed into what eventually became the Rural City of Wangaratta.

The councillors of the Oxley Shire commissioned Graham Jones to prepare a history of the shire which was published in 1995 as "Memories of Oxley".
