The council was established in 1868 when the District Council of Yatala was divided at the Dry Creek and the Dry Creek-Port Adelaide railway line into the District Councils of Yatala South and Yatala North.[1][2]

On 22 June 1933, following a proposal by Local Government Areas Commission the Yatala North District Council was abolished and merged with a large portion of the adjacent to the north District Council of Munno Para West (which was abolished at the same time), to form the new District Council of Salisbury, which ultimately became the modern City of Salisbury.
