History

Croydon was originally part of the Shire of Lillydale, which was incorporated as a district on 19 September 1856, and as a shire in 1872. Croydon itself became the centre of a severance movement, and was incorporated as a shire on 24 May 1961. After much local debate, it was proclaimed as a city on 22 May 1971.[2][3]

On 15 December 1994, the City of Croydon was abolished, and along with the City of Ringwood, was merged into the newly created City of Maroondah.[4]

Council meetings were held at the Municipal Offices on Civic Drive, off Mount Dandenong Road, Croydon. It presently serves as a service centre and library for the City of Maroondah.

Wards

The City of Croydon was subdivided into three wards, each electing three councillors:[2]

  • North Ward
  • Centre Ward
  • South Ward
