The municipality was proclaimed as a borough in 1862 and, with an area of 1.9 square kilometres, was centred on the suburb of Newtown, including parts of Erskineville and Enmore. The municipality was divided into four wards: Kingston, Enmore, O'Connell and Camden. In 1949 under the ''Local Government (Areas) Act 1948'', Newtown Municipal Council was merged with the larger neighbouring City of Sydney which was located immediately to the North, although parts were subsequently, from 1968, moved into Marrickville Council.<ref>{{cite web|title=Local Government Boundaries|url=http://www.sydneyarchives.info/maps/197-local-government-boundaries|work=Newtown Sesquicentenary Project|publisher=City of Sydney – Archives|access-date=14 August 2013}}</ref> Mayors included Lilian Fowler (1938–1939), the first female mayor in Australia.<ref>{{cite web|last=Chubb|first=William|title=Jubilee Souvenir of the Municipality of Newtown|url=http://cdn.newtownproject.com.au.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/images/stories/jubileePDF/Jubilee1912.pdf|work=Sydney Archives – Newtown Project|publisher=Newtown Municipal Council|access-date=15 August 2013|year=1912}}</ref>
==Council history== On 12 December 1862 the Municipality of Newtown was incorporated and divided into three wards: O'Connell, Kingston and Enmore (a fourth, Camden Ward, was added later) covering {{convert|480|acres|2|abbr=on}}. In 1893 a plan was discussed to rename the council area 'South Sydney' (as three municipalities in the north of Sydney Harbour had merged to form North Sydney three years earlier), but nothing came of it.<ref>''The Book of Sydney Suburbs'', Compiled by Frances Pollon, Angus & Robertson Publishers, 1990, Published in Australia {{ISBN|0-207-14495-8}}</ref> Under the enactment of The Municipalities Act of 1867, the title of 'Chairman' for the council was changed to be 'Mayor'. With this Act, the council also became known as the '''Borough of Newtown'''. From 28 December 1906, with the passing of the ''Local Government Act, 1906'', the council was again renamed as the "Municipality of Newtown".
By the end of the Second World War, the NSW Government had realised that its ideas of infrastructure expansion could not be effected by the present system of the patchwork of small municipal councils across Sydney and the Minister for Local Government, Joseph Cahill, following the recommendations of the 1945–46 Clancy Royal Commission on Local Government Boundaries, passed a bill in 1948 that abolished a significant number of those councils.<ref name=CRC>{{cite web|title=4895 Royal Commission on Local Government Boundaries|url=https://www.records.nsw.gov.au/agency/4895|website=State Records Archives Investigator|publisher=State Archives and Records Authority of New South Wales|access-date=2 November 2017}}</ref> Under the ''Local Government (Areas) Act 1948'', Newtown Municipal Council became the Newtown Ward of the City of Sydney, returning four aldermen.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article18099829 |title=CITY OF SYDNEY |newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald |issue=34,620 |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=6 December 1948 |access-date=10 September 2016 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref>
