The City of Keilor was a Local Government Area located about 13 kilometres (8 mi) northwest of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia. The city covered an area of 99.70 square kilometres (38.49 sq mi), and existed from 1863 until 1994.

History

Keilor was first incorporated as a district on 3 March 1863. It became a Shire on 22 December 1871, and was proclaimed a City on 29 April 1961.[2] Its boundaries were relatively stable throughout its existence.

On 15 December 1994, along with nearly all other councils in Victoria, the City of Keilor was abolished, and its area was divided by the Maribyrnong River and the freight railway—the eastern section merging with Essendon to form the City of Moonee Valley, and the western section merging with parts of Sunshine (including St Albans) to form the City of Brimbank. Melbourne Airport and a small section of Tullamarine north of Sharps Road was transferred to the City of Hume.[3]

Wards

Keilor was divided into three wards, each electing three councillors:

  • Doutta Galla-Tullamarine Ward
  • Maribyrnong Ward
  • Niddrie Ward
