The Shire of Rosedale was a local government area stretching between the towns of Traralgon and Sale in the Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia. The shire covered an area of 2,276.6 square kilometres (879.0 sq mi), and existed from 1869 until 1994.
History
Rosedale was incorporated as a road district on 26 February 1869 and became a shire on 17 February 1871. It annexed part of the Shire of Alberton on 20 May 1914.[2]
On 2 December 1994, the Shire was abolished, with most of it being merged with the Shire of Alberton, Shire of Avon, and City of Sale into the Shire of Wellington. The Boole Poole peninsula south of Metung was joined to the Shire of East Gippsland, while the Glengarry and Toongabbie districts north of Traralgon were moved to the City of Latrobe.[3]
