Holbrook Shire

Holbrook Shire was a local government area in the eastern Riverina region of New South Wales, Australia.
Holbrook Shire was proclaimed on 7 March 1906 as Germanton Shire, one of 134 shires created after the passing of the Local Government (Shires) Act 1905. The shire was renamed Holbrook Shire on 6 August 1915. The renaming was a demonstration of patriotism during World War I and the name was taken in honour of Norman [Douglas Holbrook], a British submarine captain awarded the Victoria Cross earlier in the war.
The shire offices were in Holbrook, [New South Wales|Holbrook].
Holbrook Shire was amalgamated with Culcairn Shire and part of Hume Shire to form Greater Hume Shire on 26 May 2004.
