Castlemaine was first incorporated as a municipal district on 23 April 1855. It became a borough on 1 October 1863, a town on 30 January 1950, and was proclaimed a city on 4 December 1965.^[2]

On 20 January 1995, the City of Castlemaine was abolished, and, along with the Shires of Maldon, Metcalfe and Newstead, was merged into the newly created Shire of Mount Alexander.^[3]

The City of Castlemaine was not divided into wards, and its nine councillors represented the entire city.
