Local government in NSW was first established by the ''Local Government (Shires) Act 1905 (NSW)'' which enabled the state governor to divide the state into shires and ridings.{{sfn|Twomey|2004|p=33}}
This was consolidated by the 1906 ''Act'', and further consolidated by the 1919 one, which also brought the [[City of Sydney]] under its umbrella, that had theretofore been controlled by the ''Sydney City Incorporation Act 1842 (NSW)''.{{sfn|Twomey|2004|p=33}}
The 1993 ''Act'' repealed the earlier ones and replaced them.{{sfn|Twomey|2004|p=33}}

Many other acts entitled "Local Government Act" have been passed—as well as even more of the form "Local Government (''Specific Matter'') Act"—but these are the major ones which define the terms in which the others operate or alter. All but the last have had the long titles "An act to consolidate the Law(s) relating to Local Government". Additional acts concerning local government in the early days of the colony did not have short titles.
