Meroo Shire was a local government area in the Central West region of New South Wales, Australia.
Meroo Shire was proclaimed on 7 March 1906, with the first meeting held on 6 December 1906. It met in Mudgee throughout its existence: first in the courthouse and then the Cudgegong municipal chambers, but later in its own shire offices in Perry Street.[1] [2]
In 1921, it covered an area of 1170 square miles, had a population of between 4000 and 5000, and was responsible for the maintenance of 530 miles of roads.
Meroo Shire amalgamated with the Municipality of Cudgegong to form Cudgegong Shire on 2 May 1924.
