The history of municipal governance of Bangalore dates back to 27 March 1862, when nine leading citizens of the old city formed a Municipal Board under the Improvement of Towns Act of 1850. A similar Municipal Board was also formed in the newer [[Cantonment]] area.<ref name=":1" /> The two boards were legalized in 1881 and functioned as two independent bodies called the Bangalore City Municipality and the Bangalore Civil and Military Station Municipality (Cantonment). The following year, half of the municipal councillors were permitted to be elected, [[property tax]] was introduced, and greater powers were given over to the police and local improvement.<ref name=":1">Ashwini Roy, AS (2015) ''Urban governance in Karnataka'' (Thesis) [http://shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/38495/6/chapter%202.pdf Chapter 2: Evolution of the Bangalore Municipal Corporation]. University of Mysore.</ref>

In 1913, an honorary president was introduced, and seven years later it was made an elected position. An appointed Municipal Commissioner was introduced in 1926 on the Cantonment board as the executive authority.

After [[Indian Independence Movement|Indian independence]], the two Municipal Boards were merged, creating the Corporation of the City of Bangalore in 1949, under the Bangalore City Corporation Act. The corporation consisted of 70 elected representatives and 50 electoral divisions with an office of the Mayor. The first elections were held in 1950.<ref>http://218.248.45.172:81/web/guest/about-us;jsessionid=9A469D4416E82C08B0D9929612A48120{{Dead link|date=December 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} History on Bangalore and BBMP Draft</ref><ref>https://www.onlinebangalore.com/gove/history-bbmp.html History</ref><ref>https://ijesc.org/upload/1e7b316ea21a50911682ed2d7134fa52.A%20Study%20on%20Implementation%20of%20Good%20Corporate%20Governance%20by%20Bbmp%20(Bruhath%20Bengaluru%20Mahanagara%20Palike).pdf A Study on Implementation of Good Corporate Governance by BBMP (Bruhath Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike)</ref>

The first elections to the newly created BBMP body were held on 28 March 2010, after the delays due to the [[Electoral boundary delimitation|delimitation]] of wards and finalizing voter lists. The second elections were held on 22 August 2015 with the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]] winning the majority with 101 Corporators, followed by 76 won by the [[Indian National Congress]], 14 by the [[Janata Dal (Secular)|Janata Dal-S]], and 7 by [[Independent (Politician)|Independents]].
