Seremban Sanitary Board and Seremban Town Board
The town of Seremban was previously administered by the Sanitary Board () in 1897, which was upgraded into the Town Board () in 1946 following rapid post-war development of the town. Seremban Town Council, 1953–1979
Seremban Town Board was upgraded to the Seremban Town Council () in 1953. From 1954 until 22 July 1965, the Seremban Town Council was led by a president () in the office yearly, occasionally sitting for more than a year. Like all local governments in Malaysia, it held annual local elections during that period. On 23 July 1965, the Menteri Besar of Negeri Sembilan took over the post of the president of the Seremban Town Council, which subsequently became the president of the Seremban Municipal Council () when the town of Seremban was accorded municipality status on 1 March 1979.
