Archival historyThe Local Government (Scotland) Act 1929 (19 & 20 Geo. V, c.25) required county councils to draw up a scheme of district councils, to be composed partly of directly elected district councillors from electoral divisions within the district. District councils had various responsibilities delegated to them by the county council under a scheme of delegation. These might include the letting of houses, the upkeep of cemeteries and until 1948 the poor law. District councils also administered special districts or committees responsible for certain functions such as scavenging or water supply, financed by additional rates.
Kirkintilloch District Council was created in 1930. On 30 May 1968 Kirkintilloch joined with Cumbernauld District Council to become the Kirkintilloch and Cumbernauld District Council. District councils were abolished in 1975 by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 (c.65).
