History

Arapiles was initially the West Riding of the Shire of Wimmera, as incorporated in 1862. It was severed and incorporated separately on 25 May 1888. It gained part of Wimmera's South Riding on 30 May 1913.^[2]

On 20 January 1995, the Shire of Arapiles was abolished, and, along with the City of Horsham, and parts of the Shires of Kowree and Wimmera, was merged into the newly created Rural City of Horsham. The section west of Nhill-Harrow Road was transferred to the newly created Shire of West Wimmera.^[3]
