Queenborough Town Council was created in 1983 to restore a local council to an area that had been a Borough since the 14th century. The ancient Borough of Queenborough had been merged with other Sheppey Councils in 1968 and further merged into Swale Borough Council in 1974. This latter merger left the area without its own local council and led to the creation of the Town Council, nine years later.
