The Municipal Borough of Ipswich was created in 1835[1] by the Municipal Corporations Act 1835.[2] It was the form of local government for the ancient borough of Ipswich until the Local Government Act 1888 replaced it with the County Borough of Ipswich.
Following the passage of the Reform Act 1832, the government set up a Royal Commission in July 1833 to investigate how local councils worked.[3]
