Myrtleford was created from parts of the Shire of Bright on 31 May 1960.
On 18 November 1994, the Shire of Myrtleford was abolished, and, along with the Shire of Bright and various surrounding districts, was merged into the newly created Alpine Shire.
Myrtleford was not divided into ridings, and its nine councillors represented the entire district.
