Әкімшілік тарихы
1975 жылға дейін қазіргі Думфрис және Галлоуэй аймағы үш жеке округ ретінде басқарылды: Думфрисшир, Кирккдбригшир және Вигтауншир. Шотландия округтері 12-ші ғасырдан бастап құрылған шерифтіктер ретінде пайда болды, олар шерифтің құзыретіне бағынған приходтар тобынан тұрды. 1890 жылы «Жергілікті басқару (Шотландия) туралы» 1889 жылғы заңға сәйкес әр округ үшін сайланған округтік кеңес құрылды. 1975 жылы «Жергілікті басқару (Шотландия) туралы» 1973 жылғы заңға сәйкес үш округтік кеңес таратылды, ол Шотландия бойынша жергілікті басқарудың екі деңгейлі құрылымын орнатты: жоғары деңгейдегі аймақтар және төменгі деңгейдегі аудандар. Үш округтің аумағын қамтитын және әкімшілік аймақтар ретінде таратылған Думфрис және Галлоуэй деп аталатын аймақ құрылды. Аймақ төрт ауданнан тұрды: Анандейл және Эскдейл, Думфрисширдің шығыс бөлігін қамтиды. Нитсдейл, Думфрисширдің батыс бөлігін және Кирккдбригширдің шағын бөлігін қамтиды. Стюартри, Кирккдбригширдің көп бөлігін қамтиды. Вигтаун, Вигтаунширдің барлық аумағын және Кирккдбригширдің шағын бөлігін қамтиды. 1996 жылы «Жергілікті басқару және басқа да мәселелер (Шотландия) туралы» 1994 жылғы заңға сәйкес жергілікті басқару реформасы жалғасты, нәтижесінде аймақтың төрт ауданы таратылды, ал Думфрис және Галлоуэй кеңесі бұрынғы функцияларын өз мойнына алды. Кеңес жойылған төрт ауданның аумақтарын комитеттердің жұмыс аумақтары ретінде пайдалануды жалғастыруда. Бұрынғы төрт аудан аймақтың үш лейтенанттық аумағын анықтау үшін де қолданылады, Нитсдейл және Анандейл және Эскдейл бірге Думфрис лейтенанттығын құрайды, Стюартри ауданы Кирккдбригшир лейтенанттығына сәйкес келеді, ал Вигтаун ауданы Вигтаун лейтенанттығына сәйкес келеді. Кеңес штаб-пәтері Думфрис қаласындағы 113 English Street мекенжайындағы Кеңес кеңсесінде орналасқан, ол 1914 жылы ескі Думфрисшир округі кеңесінің штаб-пәтері ретінде салынған, ал бұрын «Аудандық ғимараттар» деп аталған.
Prior to 1975, the area that is now Dumfries and Galloway was administered as three separate counties: Dumfriesshire, Kirkcudbrightshire, and Wigtownshire. The counties of Scotland originated as sheriffdoms, which were established from the twelfth century, consisting of a group of parishes over which a sheriff had jurisdiction. An elected county council was established for each county in 1890 under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889. The three county councils were abolished in 1975 under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, which established a two tier structure of local government across Scotland comprising upper tier regions and lower tier districts. A region called Dumfries and Galloway was created covering the area of the three counties, which were abolished as administrative areas. The region contained four districts:
Annandale and Eskdale, covering the eastern part of Dumfriesshire. Nithsdale, covering the western part of Dumfriesshire and a small part of Kirkcudbrightshire. Stewartry, covering most of Kirkcudbrightshire. Wigtown, covering all of Wigtownshire and a small part of Kirkcudbrightshire. Further local government reform in 1996 under the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994 saw the area's four districts abolished, with the Dumfries and Galloway Council taking over the functions they had previously performed. The council continues to use the areas of the four abolished districts as committee areas. The four former districts are also used to define the area's three lieutenancy areas, with Nithsdale and Annandale and Eskdale together forming the Dumfries lieutenancy, the Stewartry district corresponding to the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright lieutenancy, and the Wigtown district corresponding to the Wigtown lieutenancy. The council headquarters is at the Council Offices at 113 English Street in Dumfries, which had been built in 1914 as the headquarters for the old Dumfriesshire County Council, previously being called "County Buildings".
