History

The City of Vincent is named after the street of that name that runs through it, which itself was believed to have been named by the chief draftsman in the Lands Department, George Vincent, after himself in about 1876. George Vincent was the recipient of the land on the north side of the street, east of Charles Street, in the first Crown grant of Perth.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

In May 1895, the developing area that included Leederville and West Leederville was gazetted the Leederville Roads Board.

In 1895, the Leederville Roads Board became a municipality, and in April 1897 was divided into north, south and central wards. By this point the municipal population had reached more than one thousand people.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

In 1914, the greater Perth movement led to the amalgamation of the municipalities of North Perth, Leederville and Perth (subsequently joined in 1917 by Victoria Park).

On 1 July 1994, the restructuring of the City of Perth by the Government of Western Australia created three new local governments: the Town of Vincent, the Town of Cambridge and the Town of Shepperton (now the Town of Victoria Park), plus a smaller City of Perth. It became the City of Vincent when it gained city status on 1 July 2011.

In 2014, a municipal reform proposal to abolish the City and split its territory between the City of Perth and the City of Stirling was countered with a proposal to amalgamate Vincent with Perth.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Ultimately these negotiations failed<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> and the reform process was abandoned, with no change to the boundaries of the City of Vincent.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
