Sharjah Municipality was established in 1927 and is one of the oldest municipalities in the UAE. However, the modern system of the municipality as a multiple service providing body began in 1971, when a decree was issued to define the domain of its activities and to give it the authority to supervise all public utilities and public services provided to its citizens.
