It was created by a County Review Order. Beeston had previously been part of Beeston Urban District itself, to which was added the entirety of the Stapleford Rural District, consisting of the parishes of Bramcote, Chilwell, Stapleford and Toton. The urban district bordered the county borough of Nottingham in the north west, two disconnected parts of the Basford Rural District to the north and south, and to the west the South East Derbyshire Rural District and Long Eaton in Derbyshire.

The council built itself Beeston Town Hall on Foster Avenue in Beeston at a cost of £18,500 (equivalent to £1,256,700in 2021) [2] designed by the architectural firm of Evans, Clark and Woollatt which opened on 24 March 1938. [3]

Since 1974 it has formed part of the Broxtowe borough.
