The boundaries of the Moray Council area date from the reorganization of local government in Scotland in 1975. The area was a district of the Grampian Region between 1975 and 1996, when the regions were abolished and Moray became a unitary authority. The council area covers most of the historic county of Moray (the rest is part of the Highland council area) along with most of historic Banffshire (the rest is part of the Aberdeenshire council area). Another set of boundaries — similar to those of the historic county — are used as a lieutenancy area and as a registration county.<ref>"Moray", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moray, accessed 29 March 2023.</ref> | The boundaries of the Moray Council area date from the reorganization of local government in Scotland in 1975.
