History
The Municipality of Mossel Bay was constituted on 5 July 1865 in terms of Proclamation No 59 of 1865 under provision of Ordinance No 9 of 1836.
In terms of the Local Government: Municipal Structures Act, 1998 (Act 117 of 1998) the existing Municipality of Mossel Bay together with the municipalities of Great Brak River and Herbertsdale, the Friemersheim Transitional Council, and the transitional representative councils of Mossel Bay and Outeniqua, was disestablished and the Mossel Bay Local Municipality established (Province of Western Cape Provincial Gazette Extraordinary No 5592, 22 September 2000, Provincial Notice No 500, 22 September 2000). The Mossel Bay Local Municipality forms part of the larger Garden Route District Municipality.
According to the Town Clerk all archives, with the exception of council and general standing committees minutes older than thirty years, were destroyed during a fire in 1961.
