St Albans supervisory, mayoralty and council responsibility started in the 13th century when the famous Magna Carta took place (1215). St Albans had recently received recognition in the Domesday Survey of 1080 – 1086 which helped the market town develop quickly for locals and travellers. St Albans Council or St Albans City and District Council came into being after the amalgamation of Harpenden Urban District, Municipal Borough of St Albans, and St Albans Rural districts in 1974. Since St Albans is situated in the heart of Hertfordshire, connecting to most prominent towns and villages, the decision was taken to administratively facilitate the neighbouring towns of St Albans, and thus St Albans Council was born.
