History

Marlborough became a city in 1890, previously it was a town, and as a town was administered by a Board of Selectmen. Following its incorporation as a city, Marlborough adopted a mayor–council government.

The City Council currently meets in the City Council chamber located at Marlborough City Hall. Under Marlborough's Plan B charter, the City Council is responsible for "creating laws, reviewing the annual operating budget, confirmation of mayoral appointments, and providing the necessary balance to the actions of the Executive branch of government."^[1] The executive branch of government in the city is the mayor of Marlborough. Several former city councilors have gone on to become mayors of the city.
