City of Box Hill

The City of Box Hill was a local government area about 15 kilometres (9 mi) east of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia.

The city covered an area of 21.50 square kilometres (8.30 sq mi), and existed from 1927 until 1994.

On 26 May 1925, the eastern part was severed, to create the Shire of Blackburn & Mitcham (which later became the City of Nunawading), with the remainder becoming the Borough of Box Hill on 23 December 1925.

Box Hill has variously supported an eponymous brass band since 1889.

The City of Box Hill was subdivided into nine wards, each electing one councillor:[3] The City of Box Hill was bounded by Warrigal Road to the west, Koonung Koonung Creek to the north, Middleborough Road to the east and Highbury Road to the south.
