The First Branch of the Baltimore City Council was the lower house of the bicameral Baltimore City Council, the legislature of Baltimore, Maryland. Founded in 1797, it initially had two members from each of its eight wards with year-long terms. Wards became single-member in 1846 and terms were increased to two years in 1899, then four years in 1911. The First Branch merged with the Second Branch to form a unicameral legislature in 1923; it had 28 wards at the merger.[1][2]
