History of the City of Rockdale
The City of Rockdale was originally known as the Municipality of West Botany. The Municipality was declared on the 13 January 1871. It covered . There were two wards, Arncliffe (with 221 inhabitants of whom 86 could vote) and West Botany (with 543 residents of whom 125 were eligible to vote). On 11 February elections were held to nominate three aldermen from each ward. The first Council meeting was held on 13 February 1871.
The district had three main public roads: Rocky Point Road (from the Cooks River dam wall to Rocky Point at what is now Sans Souci), West Botany Street (which veered to the east off Rocky Point Road about one kilometre south of the dam) and Forest Road (which left Rocky Point Road south of West Botany Street in a south-westerly direction). There were 10 other public streets open to traffic in the Municipality and numerous private roads and tracks by which people accessed their properties.
The Council moved into the first permanent Council Chambers on 7 January 1873. Twice the wooden floor of the building was destroyed by termites. A concrete floor was then installed.
Muddy Creek impeded access to Lady Robinson Beach at the northern end. From about 1875 Sandringham Road provided access to the beach from Rocky Point Road. Over time, Bay Street, President Avenue, Bestic Street, Ramsgate Road and Barton Street were built or extended to also give access to the beach. Most of these roads needed bridges to cross creeks or swamps. Flooding was a periodic problem for the bridges were often swept away and needed to be replaced.
==A change of name==
In 1882 the Council meeting proposed a change of name for the municipality from West Botany to Dearborough. To alter the name required an act of Parliament and so the suggestion was allowed to lapse. In 1885 a change of name was again discussed. The Colonial Secretary was asked to introduce a bill to change the name to Scarborough. In November, 1887 the Council again approached Parliament for a change of name for the Municipality. This time a name change was accepted.

The new name, Municipality of Rockdale, was legalised on 17 May 1887. The Municipality of Rockdale became the City of Rockdale in 1995.
