Editing Glasgow City Council (section)

===Glasgow Corporation===
Glasgow was given its first [[burgh]] charter sometime between 1175 and 1178 by [[William the Lion]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Marwick |first1=J.

The city was part of [[Lanarkshire]] until 1893, but the functions which operated at county level were relatively few, largely being limited to [[lieutenancy areas of Scotland|lieutenancy]] and [[sheriffdom]]. When elected county councils were created in 1890 under the [[Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889]], Glasgow Corporation was deemed capable of running its own affairs and so the city was excluded from the area controlled by Lanarkshire County Council, although the county council nevertheless chose to meet in Glasgow as a conveniently accessible location.<ref>{{cite book |title=Guide to local government in parishes, counties and burghs |date=1892 |publisher=Royal College of Physicians |location=Edinburgh |pages=xxiii–xxx |url=https://archive.org/details/b21905678/page/n29/mode/2up |access-date=31 December 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=The County Council Magazine |date=1890 |publisher=F.

The boundaries of the burgh were extended several times to incorporate areas where the urban zone outgrew the previous boundaries or where there were plans for development. These significant expansions comprise:
