The Administration of the District and the City can be traced as far back as 1928 when the town had the first governor. This has now continued through institutions that have been set up both at Central and Local Government level.

Livingstone City Council like every other Council was established under the Local Government Act No. 2 of 2019. Thus, its main functions stem from the said Act. The Act dictates that the Council should provide over sixty functions to the community within the District. These functions are coordinated and delivered through the various Departments of the Council.
