Following the Provincial Act of 1880, the Province of Manitoba was split into rural municipalities. The areas surrounding the City of Winnipeg were divided into three municipalities: Assiniboia, St. Boniface, and Kildonan. In 1914, the Municipality of Kildonan was split between the river into East and West Kildonan. Following the creation of the Municipality of East Kildonan in 1914, the residents in the northern portion of East Kildonan became increasingly concerned about rising taxes due to rapid urbanization and split into their own municipality. In 1924, the Rural Municipality of North Kildonan was incorporated following the division from the Rural Municipality of East Kildonan. The first Council meeting for the new municipality was convened in 1925, with H.C. Whellams as Reeve. The Municipality of North Kildonan was dissolved in 1972 when it joined eleven other municipalities in amalgamating with the City of Winnipeg.
