The Shire of Deakin was a local government area in the Goulburn Valley region, about {{convert|200|km|mi|0}} north of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia. The shire covered an area of {{convert|961|km2|sqmi|1}}, and existed from 1893 until 1994.

History

Deakin was once part of the vast Echuca Road District, formed in 1864 and becoming a shire in 1871, which extended along the south bank of the Murray River, from Mount Hope Creek in the west, to the Ovens River in the east. The shire lost the eastern two-thirds of its area in 1878-1879, with the severances of the Shires of Shepparton and Yarrawonga, but on 10 October 1879, the shire gained a large area, which was annexed from the Shire of Waranga. The Moira Ward was annexed to the Shire of Nathalia (then known as Numurkah) on 30 May 1892, fixing the boundary between Numurkah and Echuca, at the Goulburn River. Following this, the Shire of Deakin, representing the eastern part of what remained, severed from Echuca, and was incorporated on 20 April 1893.[2]

On 18 November 1994, the Shire of Deakin was abolished, and, along with the City of Echuca, the Town of Kyabram, the Shires of Rochester and Waranga, and some neighbouring districts, was merged into the newly created Shire of Campaspe.[3]
