City of Lancaster

The town of Lancaster was an ancient borough, with its earliest known charter dating from 1193. A later charter in 1337 gave it the right to appoint a mayor.{{cite book |last1=Farrer |first1=William |last2=Brownbill |first2=J. |title=A History of the County of Lancaster |date=1914 |publisher=Victoria County History |location=London |pages=33–48 |url=https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/lancs/vol8/pp33-48 |access-date=13 October 2023}} It was reformed to become a municipal borough in 1836, governed by a body formally called the "mayor, aldermen and burgesses of the borough of Lancaster", but generally known as the corporation or town council.Municipal Corporations Act 1835 In 1937 the borough was awarded city status.{{London Gazette|issue=34400|page=3296|date=21 May 1937}}

The modern district was created on 1 April 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, covering the territory of five former districts which were abolished at the same time:{{cite legislation UK|type=si|si=The English Non-metropolitan Districts (Definition) Order 1972|year=1972|number=2039|accessdate=22 August 2022}}{{cite legislation UK|type=si|si=The English Non-metropolitan Districts (Names) Order 1973|year=1973|number=551|accessdate=22 August 2022}}

• Carnforth Urban District
• Lancaster Municipal Borough
• Lancaster Rural District
• Lunesdale Rural District
• Morecambe and Heysham Municipal Borough

The new district was awarded borough status from its creation, allowing the chair of the council to take the title of mayor, continuing Lancaster's series of mayors dating back to 1337.{{cite web|url=https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/written-answers/1974/mar/28/district-councils-and-boroughs#S5CV0871P0_19740328_CWA_145|title=District Councils and Boroughs|date=28 March 1974|work=Parliamentary Debates (Hansard)|access-date=16 January 2012}} The city status which had been held by the old municipal borough of Lancaster since 1937 was also transferred to the new district on its creation.{{cite journal |title=Whitehall, May 20, 1937 |journal=London Gazette |date=21 May 1937 |issue=34400 |page=3296 |url=https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/34400/page/3296 |access-date=23 August 2022}}{{cite journal |title=1st April 1974 |journal=London Gazette |date=4 April 1974 |issue=46255 |page=4400 |url=https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/46255/page/4400 |access-date=23 August 2022}}

Lancaster City Council provides district-level services. County-level services are provided by Lancashire County Council. Much of the district is covered by civil parishes, which form a third tier of local government.{{cite legislation UK|type=act|act=Local Government Act 1972|year=1972|chapter=70|access-date=31 May 2023}}

In the part of the district within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, town planning is the responsibility of the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority. The city council appoints one of its councillors to serve on the 25-person National Park Authority.{{cite web |title=Meet the Members |url=https://www.yorkshiredales.org.uk/park-authority/how-we-work/our-people/members/meet-the-members/ |website=Yorkshire Dales National Park |access-date=13 October 2023}}

The council has been under no overall control since 2019. An administration led by the Green Party formed in November 2024, with cabinet positions being shared between the Greens, Liberal Democrats and local party the Morecambe Bay Independents.{{cite news |last1=Boothroyd |first1=David |title=Gaining seats the Woodhouse way |url=https://www.localcouncils.co.uk/2024/11/gaining-seats-the-woodhouse-way/ |access-date=1 December 2024 |work=Local Councils |agency=Thorncliffe |date=29 November 2024}}

The first election to the city council as enlarged by the Local Government Act 1972 was held in 1973, initially operating as a shadow authority alongside the outgoing authorities before coming into its powers on 1 April 1974.
