Collection SummaryIn December 1892 the Municipality of Cabramatta and Canley Vale was separated from the Municipality of Liverpool. This newly formed council ran parallel with Municipality of Fairfield and Smithfield Council that was formed in 1889.
In 1948 the two councils amalgamated and became Municipality of Fairfield.
A proclamation was published in the Government Gazette No 191 of 29 October 1920, altering the name of the municipality to "Municipality of Fairfield".
In 1979 Fairfield became a city and changed the name to Fairfield City Council.
