Local histories are a great resource for the history of places, people, general history and more.

Written and produced in 1938 to commemorate 100 years of progress, this book begins in 1838 with the explorers Hawdon and Bonney who were the first white men to enter Shepparton. This is followed by the squatters and their land, the town's beginnings, development of transport, personalities and industry, public utilities, businesses and professions, education, banks, churches and societies, hospitals and sporting clubs.

A wealth of history both in text and photographs, this is a must for anyone with an interest in the district.
