History

On 17 October 1860 the division of Namaqualand was subdivided into six districts for Divisional Council purposes (Cape of Good Hope Government Gazette No 3189 dated 19 October 1860, Proclamation No 59 dated 17 October 1860). The first meeting of the council was held on 19 February 1861 (Cape of Good Hope Government Gazette No 3218 dated 29 January 1861, Notice dated 19 January 1861).

On 1 July 1989 the divisional council area of Namaqualand was reconstituted as the Namaqualand Regional Services Council (The Province of the Cape of Good Hope Official Gazette No 4580 dated 31 March 1989, Provincial Notice No 339 dated 31 March 1989).
