I disagree that the article should be moved, but am happy to put in a dab link. Western District, Victoria is probably the most well known use, though less common now. It is a large area, generated a lot of wealth. A farmer or grazier from the Western district used to convey prosperity. It is my view that this should be the primary article. Of the other uses, most are red links.--A Y Arktos\^talk 19:59, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Districts of Victoria existed at the time of Federation and are still used by the Federal Government (because the Australian Constitution does not recognise local government). Each district was a collection of Counties (which survive only in the Land Titles Office). The easternmost point of the Western District is in the County of Grenville which is divided from the County of Grant (in the Port Phillip District) by the Yarrowee River/Leigh River and the Barwon River Bebofpenge (talk) 01:56, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
