It is also a major regional service city and the seat of local government and civic administration for the City of Greater Shepparton , which includes the surrounding towns of Tatura , Merrigum , Mooroopna , Murchison , Dookie , Toolamba and Grahamvale. The name of Shepparton is derived from the surname of one of the area's first European settlers, Sherbourne Sheppard, and not, as is sometimes imagined, from Shepperton , England.
Prior to the white settlement of Australia , the area was inhabited by the Yorta Yorta , an indigenous Australian people traditionally occupying the land around the junction of the Goulburn and Murray Rivers in present-day northern Victoria and southern New South Wales. Surveyor General Thomas Mitchell was the first European to be recorded travelling through the area, crossing the Goulburn River in on his return to Sydney from an expedition to survey the Darling River and its tributaries. The first permanent settlement in the area was the " Tallygaroopna " sheep station , established in the early s.
As there was yet no bridge across the Goulburn River, Irish entrepreneur Patrick Macguire soon set up a punt service to ferry travellers across the river, erecting the town's first building in the process, the punt house. This settlement soon became known as Macguire's Punt, a name it would keep into the s. The settlement was first surveyed in by Assistant Surveyor J. By this time, in addition to Macguire's Punt, it had also become known as Sheppard town, Sheppardton, and Shepparton.

While these lines experienced a brief boom, almost all of them would later close. The Goulburn River also developed as a secondary transport hub, with paddle steamers and ferries operating at The Barges.
In the post-war era the city's population virtually tripled, with immigration to the city becoming a major factor, [14] particularly migrants from Italy. During the post-war boom of the s and '70s successive local councils began a progress campaign to modernise the city and many older buildings were replaced with newer buildings.
