Yarrowlumla Shire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yarrowlumla Shire was a former Local Government Area in New South Wales, which surrounded the Australian Capital Territory until February 2004, when it was divided between Palerang Council, Yass Valley Council and a small part going to the Cooma-Monaro Shire Council. It had a population of 9,654 and an area of 2971 sq km in 1999. [1] Most of the area which became the ACT was in Yarrowlumla Shire before it was transferred to the Commonwealth in 1909.
