The first ordinary meeting of the Commissioners took place on 18 September 1845. In January 1969 the Municipality of Graaff-Reinet amalgamated with the nearby Municipality of Adendorp.
In 1994 Graaff-Reinet became part of the Eastern Cape Province. It forms part of the Dr Beyers Naudé Local Municipality, one of seven local municipalities that falls under the Sarah Baartman District Municipality (formerly Cacadu District Municipality).
