The Town of Nausori was established on the 13th July, 1931 under the provisions of Ordinance NO 44 of 1928. The qualifications to become a Township could have been due to the Sugar Industry, which was successful and also the continued preference of the rural population of Tailevu, Naitasiri and Rewa Province to use Nausori as their identity.

Nausori Town Council provides a wide range of services to its ratepayers such as sanitation, roads, car parks, business licence, parks and gardens, sporting facilities (Ratu Cakobau Park, Multipurpose Court and Syria Park) and recreational facilities (Nausori Library).
