History
In 1871, the York Road District and the Municipality of York were gazetted as two separate entities. On 1 July 1961, they became respectively the Shire of York and the Town of York under the Local Government Act 1960. The two entities merged on 15 March 1965.
Wards
The council was previously split into three wards - Town (4 councillors), West (2 councillors) and East (3 councillors) - but these were abolished and an election for 6 councillors for the entire Shire was held on 6 May 2006.
