Shire of Swan Hill The Shire of Swan Hill was a local government area in northwestern Victoria, Australia, along the Murray River. The shire covered an area of 6550 km2 , and existed from 1893 until 1995. From 1939 onwards, Swan Hill itself was managed by a separate entity, ultimately known as the City of Swan Hill. After a large-scale statewide amalgamation program by the Victorian Government in 1994–1995, they were reunited under the Rural City of Swan Hill.
