Municipality of Guildford

The Municipality of Guildford was a local government area of Western Australia. It first came into existence in 1838 as the Guildford Town Trust, before ceasing to function several years later.[1] It was reconstituted in 1863, and became a Municipality in 21 February 1871 under the Municipal Institutions Act. It ceased to exist when it was merged with the Swan Road District on 10 June 1960 to form the Swan-Guildford Road District.[2][3]
