[edit] History

The City of Swan began as three entities:

Guildford Municipal Council was gazetted in 1871.
Helena Vale Municipal Council was gazetted in 1895, and became Midland Junction Municipal Council in 1901.
Swan Road Board was gazetted in 1871.

On 1 July 1961, the Guildford and Swan areas merged into the Shire of Swan-Guildford, while Midland became the Town of Midland. They united on 1 April 1970 as the Shire of Swan, and exactly thirty years later, on 1 April 2000, became the City of Swan.^[1]
