History
The Municipality of Tulbagh was constituted on 27 August 1861 in terms of Proclamation No 61, 1861 under provision of Ordinance No 9, 1836 (Cape of Good Hope Government Gazette No 3285, 3 September 1861).
The lacunae in the archives up to 1969 resulted from the earthquake which occurred in Tulbagh during that year (Cape Archives File 12/4/2 Tulbagh Vol 1).
In terms of the Local Government: Municipal Structures Act, 1998 (Act 117 of 1998) the existing Tulbagh Municipality together with the Municipality of Ceres, Matroosberg Transitional Representative Council, Municipality of Prince Alfred’s Hamlet, Witzenberg Transitional Representative Council and Municipality of Wolseley was disestablished and the Witzenberg Local Municipality established (Province of Western Cape Provincial Gazette Extraordinary No 5590, 22 September 2000, Provincial Notice No 487, 22 September 2000). The Witzenberg Local Municipality forms part of the larger Cape Winelands District Municipality.
