On 22 June 1994, the City of Hawthorn was abolished, and along with the Cities of Camberwell and Kew, was merged into the newly created City of Boroondara.[2] The new City was originally planned to be named "City of Riversdale".[3]

The council met at the Hawthorn Town Hall, at the corner of Burwood and Glenferrie Roads, near Glenferrie railway station, Hawthorn. The facility is still used by the City of Boroondara as a regional arts centre.[4]

Geography

The council area covered the suburbs of Hawthorn, Hawthorn East and parts of Glen Iris, and was bounded by the Yarra River to the west, Barkers Road to the north, Gardiners Creek and CityLink (formerly South Eastern Freeway) to the south and Burke Road to the east.[6]
