Bridge of Allan, a town less that three miles from the centre of Stirling, was created a police burgh in 1870 under the General Police and Improvement (Scotland) Act 1862 (25 & 26 Vict., c. 101). Under the Act the administration of the burgh was to be carried out by police commissioners who were responsible for the cleansing, lighting, policing and public health of the burgh. Bridge of Allan was at that time a growing Victorian town, famed for its location and as a spa resort. Its population grew from 1803 in 1861 to 3055 in 1871. During the 20th century it continued to attract tourists and also became the location for the University of Stirling. Under the Town Councils (Scotland) Act 1900 (63 & 64 Vict., c. 49) the police commissioners were replaced by the Town Council in January 1901. Bridge of Allan Town Council was abolished in 1975 under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 (c. 65). Its powers were assumed by Central Regional Council and Stirling District Council. These in turn were replaced by Stirling Council in 1996 under the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994 (c. 39).
Bridge of Allan Curling Club was founded in 1790. In the mid nineteenth century the curling pond in Westerton Park was distinguished by an ingenious lighting system where lines of lanterns were supplied by underground gas pipes. Two artificial curling rinks were later made in Bridge of Allan: at the glebe of the former Logie Manse and at Camerons' haugh. The club was one of the founding members of Scottish Central Province in 1864.
The origin of the Bridge of Allan Highland Games lie in the meetings of the Country Archery and Rifle Club (founded c. 1825) and their sports competitions. These developed into the Strathallan Highland Games which were organised by J. A. Henderson of Westerton from at least 1848 until 1858 when he died, although 1851 is usually given as the official start date of the Games. Major General Sir James Alexander, became Laird of Westerton in 1863 and reorganised the games which have been held annually ever since with the exception of the duration of the two World Wars. The committee who organised the games was known as Strathallan Meeting Limited. In 1888, it was responsible for organising the Highland Gathering at the Glasgow International Exhibition and in 1889 at the Paris International Exhibition.
Until 1956, the Bridge of Allan games gave out money prizes, then from 1957 till 1998 it affiliated to the amateur sports organisations
A United Presbyterian congregation was formed in Bridge of Allan in 1848, a church was built a year later and a minister appointed in 1851. Bridge of Allan Trinity was in the Presbytery of Stirling (later for sometime the Presbytery of Stirling and Dunblane). In 1900, along with most other United Presbyterian congregations, the Church became part of the United Free Church.
The Free Church at Bridge of Allan was formed in 1843 after the Disruption. The congregation worshipped in a joiner's shop until a church was built in 1845. The growth of the village as a popular health resort brought an increase in the congregation. After the union with the United Presbyterians in 1900 the Church became part of the United Free Church, then part of the Church of Scotland after 1929.

Bridge of Allan St Andrew's was originally constituted quoad sacra, that is for ecclesiastical purposes only, without civil responsibility or jurisdiction. A chapel was built there in 1855 and it was disjoined from Logie and erected in 1868. It was in the Presbytery of Dunblane (later Stirling and Dunblane, later Stirling). St Andrew's united with Bridge of Allan Trinity in 1942 to form Holy Trinity
Keir Curling Club was founded in 1895 in Keir, near Bridge of Allan. It was a small club with an average of between 14 and 24 members. However from the 1970s membership increased, especially after the opening of Stirling Ice Rink in 1980. The club arranged fixtures, social activities and held regular meetings. It celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1995.
