History
The Divisional Council of the Cape was established on 9 July 1855 in terms of Act No 5 of 1855. In terms of Act No 33 of 1909 it was renamed the Rural Council of the Cape Division. In terms of Ordinance No 13 of 1917 it resumed the name of Divisional Council of the Cape.
The Regional Services Council for the Cape Metropole and surrounding areas covering the Divisional Council areas of the Cape, Stellenbosch and Paarl was established in terms of section 3(1)(a) of the Regional Services Council Act, 1985 (Act No 109 of 1985) with effect from 9 January 1987 (Official Gazette of the Province of the Cape of Good Hope, No 4460, 9 January 1987, Provincial Notice No 4 of 9 January 1987).
