Kew was first incorporated as a municipal district on 19 December 1860, a borough in October 1863, and a town on 8 December 1910. It was proclaimed a city on 10 March 1921. On 22 June 1994, the City of Kew was abolished, and, along with the Cities of Camberwell and Hawthorn, was merged into the newly created City of Boroondara.
