It was abolished upon Singapore's secession from Malaysia in 1965. An election was held in 1957, with a byelection in 1958.
It signed the water trade agreement with the Johore State Government in 1961 and 1962.

Famous quotes containing the words city and/or council:
“Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion city of our God!
He, whose word cannot be broken, Form’d for thee his own abode:
On the rock of ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation’s walls surrounded Thou may’st smile at all thy foes.”

“There by some wrinkled stones round a leafless tree
With beards askew, their eyes dull and wild
Twelve ragged men, the council of charity
Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....”
