The City of Swan is a local government area of Western Australia. It is in Perth's eastern metropolitan region and the Swan Valley, centred approximately 20 km north-east of the Perth Central Business District (CBD). The City covers an area of 1,043 km² (much of which is uninhabited) and has a population of about 120,000. At the 2001 census, 10% of the population were born in the United Kingdom, while significant Southern European and South-East Asian minorities are also located here. == History == The City of Swan began as three entities: * The Municipality of Guildford, gazetted in 1871. * The Municipality of Helena Vale, gazetted in 1895, becoming the Municipality of Midland Junction in 1901 and the Town of Midland in 1961. * The Swan Roads Board, gazetted in 1871. On 1 July 1961, Guildford and the Swan Roads Board merged into the Shire of Swan-Guildford. Swan-Guildford and Midland united on 1 April 1970 as the Shire of Swan, and thirty years later, on 1 April 2000, became the City of Swan.〔WA Electoral Commission, ''Municipality Boundary Amendments Register'' (release 2.0), 31 May 2003.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「City of Swan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
