History

The City, then known as the District Council of Victor Harbor, was the product of a merger on 31 October 1975 between the District Council of Encounter Bay and the Corporation of Victor Harbor.

In 1996–1997, a merger with the small neighbouring councils in Port Elliot and Goolwa, (which, with the town of Middleton, form a contiguous coastal conurbation with Victor Harbor), was considered, but ultimately the District Council of Victor Harbor remained distinct, and the other councils merged on 1 July 1997 to form the Alexandrina Council.

On 1 February 2000, the District Council of Victor Harbor was renamed as the City of Victor Harbor.{{cite web |url=http://www.victor.sa.gov.au/site/page.cfm?u=149 |title=Council Information |author=City of Victor Harbor |date=12 July 2007 |accessdate=1 May 2009}}
