The Australian State of Victoria is divided into counties. These counties were gazetted in stages between 1849 and 1890 as Victoria was progressively opened up to European settlement. Unlike counties in the United States and the United Kingdom , Victoria's counties have no administrative or political function. They exist purely as Cadastral units: used for the purposes of identifying the location of any piece of land. The counties are furthermore divided into 2914 parishes and townships. The county names have also been traditionally used as names for Electoral Districts , although these districts seldom have boundaries coinciding exactly with county boundaries. The Victorian Legislative Assembly currently has electoral districts called Benambra, Evelyn, Lowan, Mornington, Polwarth, Ripon and Rodney. The counties are also related to the boundaries for the Victorian forecast districts . LIST OF VICTORIAN COUNTIES
