City of Knox, Local government area in eastern Melbourne, Australia.
The City of Knox covers 114 square kilometers of eastern Melbourne suburbs, including Bayswater, Boronia, Ferntree Gully, and eight additional localities.
The municipality emerged from the Scoresby Riding of Berwick Shire, becoming the Shire of Knox in 1963 and gaining city status in 1969.
The region maintains strong connections to its namesake Sir George Hodges Knox through the municipal crest, which features his family motto Move and Prosper.
The administration operates through nine distinct wards, each represented by an elected councillor who serves the community for a four-year term.
Knox survived the 1994 Victorian municipal amalgamations, expanding its territory to include Upper Ferntree Gully and sections of Lysterfield from Sherbrooke Shire.
