The Rotary Club of Shepparton appointed a District Governor’s special representative Mr Ed McKeon, a Past President of that club, to investigate the possibility of forming a Rotary Club in Mooroopna.

The club was organised on the 30th April 1964. Charter was granted on 11th May 1964 and presented on the 11th July 1964 at a Charter Dinner at the Victoria Hotel in Shepparton. The first President was the late Rotarian Mack MacKellar who was a member of the Shepparton Club prior to the formation of the Mooroopna Club.

The club chartered with 27 members.

Up to 2014 when the club celebrated its 50th Anniversary there had been approximately 220 members inducted, and the membership has fluctuated between 25 and 46 members at one time.
