The municipality was proclaimed on 1 August 1859 and, with an area of 2 square kilometres, included the modern suburbs of Glebe and Forest Lodge. The council was amalgamated with the City of Sydney to the east with the passing of the ''Local Government (Areas) Act 1948'', although parts of the former council area were transferred in 1967 to the Municipality of Leichhardt to the west (now the Inner West Council).

==Council history and location== The municipality was proclaimed by the Governor of New South Wales, Sir William Denison, on 1 August 1859, with the boundaries described in the ''Government Gazette'' as "bounded on the east by Bay-street, northerly, from the Parramatta Road, at the junction of the Newtown Road, to Blackwattle Swamp Cove on the north and west by the waters of Port Jackson, and by Johnston's Creek, upwards, to the Orphan School Creek; on the south by that creek, upwards, to the Parramatta Road; and by that road, easterly, to Bay-street aforesaid."<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article228600526 |title=MUNICIPALITY OF THE GLEBE. |newspaper=New South Wales Government Gazette |issue=149 |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=3 August 1859 |access-date=10 September 2016 |page=1690 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref> On 16 August 1859, a further proclamation, following a petition, divided the municipality into three wards: Outer Glebe Ward, Inner Glebe Ward and Bishopthorpe Ward.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article228600906 |title=MUNICIPALITY OF THE GLEBE. |newspaper=New South Wales Government Gazette |issue=159 |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=17 August 1859 |access-date=10 September 2016 |page=1828 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref>

The Council first met on 1 September 1859, when the first chairman was elected, George Wigram Allen, who would be elected a further 17 times. Other early aldermen of the council included architects Edmund Blacket (1859–1870) and George Allen Mansfield (1866–1877), and the future NSW Premier George Dibbs (1870–1871). The first council meetings were held in the long room of a local hotel, but a few months later moved to a house which Chairman Allen had placed at their disposal until a purpose-built cottage was rented for the purposes of Municipal Chambers.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article13471221 |title=THE GLEBE FREE LIBRARY. |newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald |issue=13,283 |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=27 October 1880 |access-date=11 September 2016 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref> In July 1879 the council approved a 5000-pound design for a new town hall located at the junction of St John's Road, Mount Vernon Street and Lodge Street, designed by Ambrose Thornley.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article107163065 |title=Glebe Town Hall. |newspaper=Evening News |issue=3820 |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=9 July 1879 |access-date=11 September 2016 |page=2 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref> The Town Hall, surmounted by a clock which had been donated by Sir George Wigram Allen, was completed and opened on 24 June 1880 by Mayor Dunn.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article13462927 |title=The NEW TOWN HALL at the GLEBE. |newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald |issue=13,177 |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=25 June 1880 |access-date=11 September 2016 |page=6 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article108732829 |title=The Glebe Town Hall. |newspaper=Evening News |issue=4111 |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=25 June 1880 |access-date=11 September 2016 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref>

Following the enactment of the ''Municipalities Act, 1867'', the title of chairman was renamed "Mayor" and the council became known as the '''Borough of The Glebe''' (From 28 December 1906, following the passing of the ''Local Government Act, 1906'', the council was again renamed as the "Municipality of The Glebe"). On 17 January 1871, a further proclamation created a fourth ward, Forest Lodge Ward, in the south-west, with each ward now returning three aldermen each.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article224329686 |title=Government Gazette Proclamations and Legislation |newspaper=New South Wales Government Gazette |issue=13 |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=17 January 1871 |access-date=10 September 2016 |page=140 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref> With the bankruptcy and dire financial straits of its southern neighbour, Camperdown Council was moved to the position of amalgamating the council with one or several of its neighbours. A resolution passed by Camperdown on 27 October 1903 invited Glebe and Newtown councils to discussions over such a proposal, which was firmly rejected by The Glebe.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article113795425 |title=ABSORPTION OF CAMPERDOWN MUNICIPALITY. |newspaper=Evening News |issue=11,391 |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=14 December 1903 |access-date=30 May 2016 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref> Camperdown eventually merged with the City of Sydney in December 1908.

By 1925 the Glebe council was controlled by Labor representatives with 11 Labor Aldermen elected to council, and William Walsh became Glebe's first Labor Mayor. On 31 May 1939, the Minister for Local Government, Eric Spooner, recommended to the Governor, Lord Wakehurst, that Glebe Council be dismissed and replaced by an Administrator, Barton Hopetoun Nolan, the Inspector of Local Government Accounts for the Department of Local Government, whose report on the accounts of the council had unveiled significant misappropriation and corruption.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article17599197 |title=REPORT ON GLEBE. |newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald |issue=31,643 |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=1 June 1939 |access-date=10 September 2016 |page=11 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref> Elections intended for February 1940 were postponed by the Minister for Local Government, Lewis Martin, and were eventually held on 8 December 1940, with five Australian Labor Party (Non-Communist) candidates elected aldermen.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article17647306 |title=GLEBE COUNCIL ELECTION. |newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald |issue=31,846 |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=24 January 1940 |access-date=10 September 2016 |page=17 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article27949432 |title=NEW ALDERMEN AT GLEBE. |newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald |issue=32,121 |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=10 December 1940 |access-date=10 September 2016 |page=11 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref>

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'', The Glebe Municipal Council was merged with the larger neighbouring City of Sydney which was located immediately to the east and south, becoming the Glebe Ward, returning two 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>
