It was proclaimed by Governor Charles Du Cane on 10 September 1860 as the Rural Municipality of Spring Bay. The first election was held on 19 October 1860 and elected six councillors, with George Rudd becoming the first warden.[1][3]
It was reconstituted as the Municipality of Spring Bay with effect from 2 January 1908 under the Local Government Act 1906, which abolished existing bodies as part of sweeping local government reform but established a municipality of the same name with similar boundaries.[4] Its boundaries were then explained as: "[extending] from Richmond on the west, to the eastern shores of Maria Island, north to Little Swanport River or Glamorgan municipality, and southerly to the Sorell municipality". It was then divided into three wards.[6]
The council built a new council chambers and community centre in the 1950s.[7]
