==History==
Brighton was first incorporated as a borough on 18 January 1859. It annexed some land in Elwood and Elsternwick in 1870, and became a town on 18 March 1887. It annexed from the City of Moorabbin on 3 April 1912, and on 12 March 1919, it was proclaimed a city.〔 Accessed at State Library of Victoria, La Trobe Reading Room.〕 From 1861 onwards, Thomas Bent was associated with the council, being its mayor on several occasions before becoming Treasurer and Premier of Victoria from 1904 until 1909.
Council meetings were held at the court house until 1886, when a stuccoed building, designed by Wilson and Beswicke, was constructed at the corner of Wilson and Carpenter Streets in Brighton and subsequently remodelled in 1933. A new building, housing the council chambers and offices, was built in Boxshall Street to mark the centenary of the municipality in 1959. The former town hall is now home to the Bayside Cultural Centre.
On 15 December 1994, the City of Brighton was abolished, and, along with the City of Sandringham and parts of the suburbs of Cheltenham, Highett and Beaumaris, was merged into the City of Bayside.
