The shire covered an area of {{convert|771.57|km2|sqmi|1}}, and existed from 1856 until 1994. HistoryBeechworth originated as two separate entities; the Borough of Beechworth, first created as a municipal district on 23 August 1856, becoming a borough on 11 September 1863, and the Shire of Beechworth, created on 27 December 1865 as a union of the Stanley (10 December 1862) and Wooragee (30 March 1863) Road Districts. The two entities merged on 29 December 1871, to form the United Shire of Beechworth. At dissolution, it was the only United Shire of its kind remaining in Victoria.[2] On 18 November 1994, the United Shire of Beechworth was abolished, and, along with parts of the Shires of Chiltern, Rutherglen and Yackandandah, was merged into the newly created Shire of Indigo. The area around Mudgegonga, in the southeast of the former United Shire, was transferred to the newly created Alpine Shire.[3] WardsThe United Shire of Beechworth was divided into four ridings, each of which elected three councillors:
