Glasgow City Council is the local government authority for the city of Glasgow, Scotland. In its modern form it was created in 1996. Glasgow was formerly governed by a corporation, also known as the town council, from the granting of its first burgh charter in the 1170s until 1975. From 1975 until 1996 the city was governed by City of Glasgow District Council, a lower-tier authority within the Strathclyde region.
The council has its headquarters at Glasgow City Chambers in George Square, completed in 1889.
