Northern Grampians Shire Council and Stawell Historical Society will celebrate 150 years of the Borough of Stawell on Tuesday.
This month marks 150 years since the proclamation of the Borough of Stawell.
An amalgamation of Stawell, Stawell West and Quartz Reef, the Borough of Stawell was officially declared on Friday November 12, 1869.
Originally known as Pleasant Creek, Stawell was first settled as a gold mining township.
The area was proclaimed Stawell Township in 1858, named for Sir William Stawell who was the Chief Justice of Victoria at the time.
