History

Ringwood was originally part of the Shire of Lillydale, which was incorporated as a road district on 19 September 1856, and as a shire in 1872. Ringwood itself was severed and incorporated as a borough on 22 October 1924. It was proclaimed a city on 19 March 1960.

On 15 December 1994, the City of Ringwood was abolished, and, along with the City of Croydon, was merged into the City of Maroondah.

Council meetings were held at the Municipal Offices, on Mines Road, Ringwood. It presently serves as the council seat for the City of Maroondah.
