Its council is based in St Albans, the largest settlement in the district. The district also includes the town of Harpenden and several villages. The district borders North Hertfordshire, Welwyn Hatfield, Hertsmere, Watford, Three Rivers, Dacorum, and Central Bedfordshire.

==History== {{main|History of St Albans}} The town of St Albans had been an ancient borough since 1553. It was reformed in 1836 to become a municipal borough and additionally gained city status in 1877.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Page |first1=William |title=A History of the County of Hertford, Volume 2 |date=1908 |publisher=Victoria County History |location=London |pages=477{{ndash}}483 |url=https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/herts/vol2/pp477-483 |access-date=30 January 2022}}</ref><ref>{{London Gazette|issue=24502|page=5185|date=11 September 1877}}</ref>

The modern St Albans district was created on 1 April 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, covering the area of three former districts, which were all abolished at the same time:<ref>{{cite legislation UK|type=si|si=The English Non-metropolitan Districts (Definition) Order 1972|year=1972|number=2039|access-date=12 May 2023}}</ref> *Harpenden Urban District *St Albans Municipal Borough *St Albans Rural District (except the part within the designated area of Hemel Hempstead New Town, which went to Dacorum.)

Hertfordshire has a two-tier structure of local government, with the ten district councils (including St Albans City and District Council) providing district-level services, and Hertfordshire County Council providing county-level services. In some areas there is an additional third tier of civil parishes.<ref>{{cite legislation UK|type=act|act=Local Government Act 1972|year=1972|chapter=70|access-date=3 March 2023}}</ref>

Hertfordshire County Council is responsible for services including education, transport, fire and public safety, social care and libraries. The district council's responsibilities include electoral services, food safety, licensing, car parks, allotments, cemeteries, grounds maintenance, leisure and theatre facilities (in Council's ownership) museums, parks and open spaces, markets, street cleaning, management and maintenance of council owned housing, the administration of housing benefits, town planning, and building control.<ref name=sadcwebsite/> Parish council responsibilities include allotments, youth projects, leisure facilities, open spaces, traffic calming and community transport schemes.<ref name=sadcwebsite/>

===Political control=== The council has been under Liberal Democrat majority control since 2021.<ref>{{cite news |title=Elections 2021: Hertfordshire councils change hands |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-57039483 |access-date=29 March 2025 |work=BBC News |date=9 May 2021}}</ref> The first elections to the district council were held in 1973, initially acting as a shadow authority alongside the outgoing authorities until the new arrangements took effect on 1 April 1974. Political control since 1974 has been as follows:<ref name=electionscentre>{{cite web |title=Compositions Calculator |url=https://www.electionscentre.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/composition_calc.html |access-date=5 March 2025 |website=The Elections Centre |publisher=University of Exeter}} (Put "St Albans" in search box to see specific results.)</ref> {| class="wikitable" |- !colspan="2"|Party in control!!Years |- | {{Party name with colour|Conservative Party (UK)}} || 1974–1984 |- | {{Party name with colour|No overall control}} || 1984–1988 |- | {{Party name with colour|Conservative Party (UK)}} || 1988–1991 |- | {{Party name with colour|No overall control}} || 1991–1994 |- | {{Party name with colour|Liberal Democrats (UK)}} || 1994–1999 |- | {{Party name with colour|No overall control}} || 1999–2006 |- | {{Party name with colour|Liberal Democrats (UK)}} || 2006–2007 |- | {{Party name with colour|No overall control}} || 2007–2008 |- | {{Party name with colour|Liberal Democrats (UK)}} || 2008–2011 |- | {{Party name with colour|No overall control}} || 2011–2015 |- | {{Party name with colour|Conservative Party (UK)}} || 2015–2019 |- | {{Party name with colour|No overall control}} || 2019–2021 |- | {{Party name with colour|Liberal Democrats (UK)}} || 2021–present |}

===Leadership=== The role of mayor of St Albans is largely ceremonial. They preside at council meetings and act as first citizen of the district. They are chosen from among the councillors but are expected to maintain a non-political stance, although they do have the right to exercise a casting vote in the case of a tied vote at a meeting. The role of mayor is usually held by a different councillor each year, continuing the series of mayors of St Albans which dates back to the first borough charter of 1553.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.stalbans.gov.uk/Images/MayoralCount_tcm15-34883.pdf|title=Mayoral Count|website=stalbans.gov.uk|access-date=7 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160309044450/http://www.stalbans.gov.uk/Images/MayoralCount_tcm15-34883.pdf|archive-date=9 March 2016|url-status=live}}</ref>
