The Darling Range Road District was gazetted on 30 April 1897. On 1 July 1961, it became the Shire of Kalamunda after the enactment of the Local Government Act 1960, which reformed all remaining road districts into shires.[3] The Shire of Kalamunda commenced community consultation on whether to become a city in 2015, and was renamed the City of Kalamunda on 1 July 2017.[4][5][6]
The city is divided into four wards.
