The Rural Municipality of St. James became the City of St. James in 1956. In 1967, the Town of Brooklands merged with the City of St. James, which in turn joined with the Rural Municipality of Assiniboia in 1969 to form the City of St. James-Assiniboia. The first Council for the Rural Municipality of St. James met in 1921, with J. W. Godkin as Reeve. The first Council for the City of St. James met on April 17, 1956, with T. D. Findlay as Mayor.
