History
The Corporation of the City of Glasgow (also known as The Corporation of Glasgow and Glasgow Corporation) was formed in 1895 from the 'Glasgow Town Council'. Following local government reorganisation in 1975, it became the City of Glasgow District Council. In 1996, with the dissolution of Strathclyde Regional Council, and transfer of responsibilities to (The City of) Glasgow District Council, the authority was renamed as Glasgow City Council, becoming a single-tier structure.
