==History==
The town of Lancaster was an [[ancient borough]], with its earliest known charter dating from 1193. A later charter in 1337 gave it the right to appoint a mayor.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Farrer |first1=William |last2=Brownbill |first2=J. |title=A History of the County of Lancaster |date=1914 |publisher=Victoria County History |location=London |pages=33–48 |url=https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/lancs/vol8/pp33-48 |access-date=13 October 2023}}</ref> It was reformed to become a [[municipal borough]] in 1836, governed by a body formally called the "mayor, aldermen and burgesses of the borough of Lancaster", but generally known as the corporation or town council.<ref>[[Municipal Corporations Act 1835]]</ref> In 1937 the borough was awarded city status.<ref>{{London Gazette|issue=34400|page=3296|date=21 May 1937}}</ref>

The modern district was created on 1 April 1974 under the [[Local Government Act 1972]], covering the territory of five former districts which were abolished at the same time:<ref>{{cite legislation UK|type=si|si=The English Non-metropolitan Districts (Definition) Order 1972|year=1972|number=2039|accessdate=22 August 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite legislation UK|type=si|si=The English Non-metropolitan Districts (Names) Order 1973|year=1973|number=551|accessdate=22 August 2022}}</ref>

The new district was awarded [[Borough status in the United Kingdom|borough status]] from its creation, allowing the chair of the council to take the title of mayor, continuing Lancaster's series of mayors dating back to 1337.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/written-answers/1974/mar/28/district-councils-and-boroughs#S5CV0871P0_19740328_CWA_145|title=District Councils and Boroughs|date=28 March 1974|work=[[Hansard|Parliamentary Debates (Hansard)]]|access-date=16 January 2012}}</ref> The city status which had been held by the old municipal borough of Lancaster since 1937 was also transferred to the new district on its creation.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Whitehall, May 20, 1937 |journal=London Gazette |date=21 May 1937 |issue=34400 |page=3296 |url=https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/34400/page/3296 |access-date=23 August 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |title=1st April 1974 |journal=London Gazette |date=4 April 1974 |issue=46255 |page=4400 |url=https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/46255/page/4400 |access-date=23 August 2022}}</ref>

Lancaster City Council provides [[Non-metropolitan district|district-level]] services. [[Non-metropolitan county|County-level]] services are provided by [[Lancashire County Council]]. Much of the district is covered by [[civil parish]]es, which form a third tier of local government.<ref>{{cite legislation UK|type=act|act=Local Government Act 1972|year=1972|chapter=70|access-date=31 May 2023}}</ref>

In the part of the district within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, [[town planning]] is the responsibility of the [[Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority]]. The city council appoints one of its councillors to serve on the 25-person National Park Authority.<ref>{{cite web |title=Meet the Members |url=https://www.yorkshiredales.org.uk/park-authority/how-we-work/our-people/members/meet-the-members/ |website=Yorkshire Dales National Park |access-date=13 October 2023}}</ref>

===Political control===
The council has been under [[no overall control]] since 2019. Since the [[2023 Lancaster City Council election|2023 election]] a coalition of [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour]], the [[Green Party of England and Wales|Greens]] and [[Liberal Democrats (UK)|Liberal Democrats]] has formed the council's administration.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Lambert |first1=Greg |title=New Lancaster City Council leader elected after 11th hour Labour, Greens and Lib Dems deal |url=https://www.beyondradio.co.uk/news/local-news/new-lancaster-city-council-leader-elected-after-11th-hour-labour-greens-and-lib-dems-deal/ |access-date=11 October 2023 |work=Beyond Radio |date=22 May 2023}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=23 May 2023|title=Labour forge new Lancaster City Council cooperative alliance with Greens and Lib Dems|url=https://www.lancasterguardian.co.uk/news/people/labour-forge-new-lancaster-city-council-cooperative-alliance-with-greens-and-lib-dems-4153396|access-date=9 June 2023|website=lancaster.guardian.co.uk}}</ref>

The first election to the city council as enlarged by the Local Government Act 1972 was held in 1973, initially operating as a shadow authority alongside the outgoing authorities before coming into its powers on 1 April 1974.
