Castlecliff Town Board

Castlecliff Town Board was constituted under the provisions of the Town Districts Act 1881, which gave small concentrations of population the ability to organise local authority government in a way not possible under the counties system. A proclamation constituting the Borough of Wanganui and the Town Districts of Gonville and Castlecliff as one united borough, was gazetted on 27 March 1924 (Municipal Corporations Act 1920, s. 137). Three members of the Castlecliff Town Board became councillors on the united City Council.
