A five-member city council is elected by the residents, and a mayor is elected annually by the council to serve a nine-month term. As part of his goals in 2010, Mayor Antonio Tony Cartagena reestablished the Walnut Historical Society. The dedicated group of community leaders includes members of various service organizations, public agencies, local churches, and school districts. The society partnered with city and other staff to preserve the history of their small city with their first project, Images of America: Walnut.
