History
Mordialloc was originally part of the Shire of Moorabbin, and was severed and incorporated as the Borough of Mentone and Mordialloc on 26 May 1920. It increased in size on 18 May 1921, by absorbing another small section of Moorabbin. It was declared a town on 17 April 1923 and its name changed to Mordialloc a week later. It was proclaimed a city on 5 May 1926.
On 15 December 1994, the City of Mordialloc was abolished, and, along with the City of Chelsea and parts of the Cities of Moorabbin and Springvale, was merged into the newly created City of Kingston. The eastern section of Beaumaris was transferred to the City of Bayside.
Council meetings were held at the Mentone Town Hall, on Mentone Parade, Mentone. It presently serves as a council service centre and library for the City of Kingston.
