City of Shoalhaven, Administrative division in New South Wales, Australia
The City of Shoalhaven extends across 125 kilometers of coastline, featuring 109 beaches and numerous waterways between mountains and coastal plains.
Established in 1948 as Shoalhaven Shire through the amalgamation of local municipalities, the region received city status from the New South Wales Governor in 1979.
The Dharawal and Jerrinja peoples maintain strong connections to their traditional lands, stretching from Crooked River to Clyde River in the Shoalhaven region.
Thirteen elected councilors, including a directly elected mayor, manage the administrative responsibilities for 49 towns and villages within the Shoalhaven jurisdiction.
The name Shoalhaven originated from George Bass in 1797, who noted the shallow river mouth during his exploration of the area.
