History

Ararat was first incorporated as a borough on 24 September 1858, known as the Municipal District of Ararat, headed by chairmen. In 1862 it was declared as a borough and known as the Borough of Ararat, headed by mayors. It was declared as a town on 29 May 1934, and on 24 May 1950, it was proclaimed as a city. It received some land from the surrounding Shire of Ararat on 27 May 1960.

On 23 September 1994, the City of Ararat was abolished, and, along with the Shire of Ararat and parts of the Shire of Stawell, was merged into the newly created Rural City of Ararat.^[2]

The former town hall was National Trust listed^[3] and later adaptively reused as the Ararat Regional Art Gallery,^[4] managed by the Rural City of Ararat. It was designed by Molloy and Smith and built in 1899.
