Box Hill was originally included in the Nunawading Road District, established on 7 August 1857, which became the Shire of Nunawading on 4 May 1872. On 26 May 1925, the eastern part was severed, to create the Shire of Blackburn & Mitcham (which later became the City of Nunawading), with the remainder becoming the Borough of Box Hill on 23 December 1925. It was proclaimed a city on 28 April 1927. On 15 December 1994, the City of Box Hill was abolished, and along with the City of Nunawading, was merged into the newly created City of Whitehorse. Council meetings were held at the Box Hill Town Hall, on Bank Street, Box Hill. It is still used for secondary council offices by the City of Whitehorse. Box Hill has variously supported an eponymous brass band since 1889. Wards
