Headbourne Worthy Parish Meeting was established in 1894 but no Parish Council was elected at this time.
Under a County Council order of 1934 Headbourne Worthy with Kings Worthy Parish Council was formed, to serve the two parishes, and replacing the former Kings Worthy Parish Council; a separate new Headbourne Worthy Parish Council was established under an order of 1954; between 1964 and 1984 this was known as Headbourne Worthy and Abbotts Barton Parish Council.
It became Headbourne Worthy Parish Council again in 1985.
