Administrative history
The Municipality of the District of Shelburne was incorporated in 1879. Soon after the Municipality was divided into districts and councilors were elected to represent each district. A Municipal Clerk and Treasurer were appointed. The Clerk was responsible for recording the minutes of the Council meetings and administering to the day-to-day affairs of the municipality. The Municipal Treasurer was responsible for the final and formal book-keeping. Council members served on several committees, established to deal with various Municipal activities. These activities involved property assessment and tax collection, financial management, care of the poor, construction and maintenance of roads and bridges, public health, railway construction, animal control, fire prevention, administration of justice, joint expenditures, elections, and town officers.
