The City of Greater Geraldton in the Mid West region of Western Australia was originally established as a Municipality with a mayor and councillors under the Municipal Institutions Act in 1871. With the passage of the Local Government Act 1960, all municipalities became Towns effective 1 July 1961. On 22 April 1988, Geraldton was declared a City.
