History
The town of Doddaballapura had been in existence prior to the 12th century and was named on behalf of a messenger traveling during the 10th century called "Dodda-Balla." It is older than the Bengaluru (Bangalore) city which has now overgrown engulfing many of its neighboring villages and towns. The history of municipal governance of Doddaballapura dates back to July 30, 1917, when nine leading citizens of the city formed a Municipal Board under the Improvement of Towns Act. The following year, the concept of elected representatives came into being and also saw the introduction of property tax.

Fresh elections were held in June 2013.
