The Buckland Hill Road District was created on 6 October 1899.[2] It was renamed the Cottesloe Beach Road District on 2 July 1909, but reverted to the Buckland Hill name on 10 October 1930.[3]

It was renamed the Mosman Park Road District on 12 February 1937. It became the Shire of Mosman Park with effect from 1 July 1961 following the passage of the Local Government Act 1960, which reformed all remaining road districts into shires. It assumed its current name when it was granted town status on 26 January 1962.[3]
