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]
The City of Swan is divided into 8 wards, most of which have only one councillor:
- Altone Ward (3 councillors)
- Ballajura Ward (3 councillors)
- Midland Ward (3 councillors)
- Ellenbrook
- Swan Valley Gidgegannup (2 Councillors)
