The area was a separate burgh from 1864 until 1913, when it was incorporated into Dundee. Historically, it is within the County of Angus. Formerly a prosperous fishing and whaling village, in the 19th century Broughty Ferry became a haven for wealthy jute barons, who built their luxury villas in the suburb. As a result, Broughty Ferry was referred to at the time as the "richest square mile in Europe". It is administered as part of the Dundee City council area. At a national level, it is represented by both the UK Parliamentary constituency of Arbroath and Broughty Ferry and the Scottish Parliamentary constituency of Dundee City East.
