Holbrook Shire was proclaimed on 7 March 1906 as Germantown Shire, one of 134 shires created after the passing of the Local Government (Shires) Act 1905.[1] The shire was renamed Holbrook Shire on 6 August 1915.[2] 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.[3]
The shire offices were in Holbrook.[4]
Holbrook Shire was amalgamated with Culcairn Shire and part of Hume Shire to form Greater Hume Shire on 26 May 2004.[5]
