Supply met at Renfrew, as the county town, along with the Quarter Sessions and freeholders of the county. The sheriff court also met at Renfrew until 1705, when it was moved to Paisley. By the late 1800s the commissioners met at both Renfrew and Paisley. Elected county councils were established in 1890 under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889, taking most of the functions of the commissioners (which were eventually abolished in 1930). The three Renfrewshire burghs of Greenock, Paisley, and Port Glasgow were deemed large enough to manage their own affairs and so were excluded from the administrative area of the county council. Renfrewshire County Council held its first meeting on 22 May 1890 at the County Hall in Paisley, a courthouse which had been built in 1820. The county council was chaired by the convener of the county, a position formerly held by the convener of the Commissioners of Supply. The final Convener of the County to have chaired the Commissioners of Supply was West Renfrewshire's Member of Parliament Archibald Campbell MP. Further local government reform in 1930 under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1929 brough Greenock, Paisley, and Port Glasgow under the control of the county council. During this time, several parts of eastern Renfrewshire were transferred into the growing city of Glasgow, including Cathcart, parts of Govan, and parts of the Parish of Renfrew lying north of the River Clyde (containing Yoker, Scotstoun and Jordanhill). Following the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, Renfrewshire was incorporated into the Strathclyde region and divided amongst three districts: Renfrew District, Eastwood District and Inverclyde District. The Act created a two-tier local government structure, with both districts and regions having elected councils and sharing responsibility for local government. The Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994 abolished district and regional councils, replacing them with the current unitary council areas which in Renfrewshire were broadly based on the districts created by the 1973 Act. These local government areas are Renfrewshire, formed from Renfrew District excluding Barrhead; Inverclyde, formed from Inverclyde District and East Renfrewshire formed from Eastwood District plus Barrhead. Divisions Before the creation of current single tier local authorities, there were typically a number of divisions within counties with varying levels of local government powers. Burghs generally covered urbanised areas with rural parts of a county divided into districts. The Local Government (Scotland) Act 1947 defines the division of parts of the
