For almost 100 years until local government reorganisation in 1975, the affairs of the burgh were managed by the elected town council.
28 provosts served the burgh of Newport-on-Tay between 1887 and 1975.
The boundary of the Newport Police Burgh was defined by large stones. Some of these boundary stones can still be spotted today.
One of the main responsibilities of the Town Council was to ensure satisfactory housing standards in the burgh. This involved the removal of sub-standard property, as well as building hundreds of new houses.
