In 1996, the town changed its status to a city, and adopted the mayor and municipal council form of government, although it retained the title "Town of Amesbury", as voters "thought Amesbury was too small and quaint to be a city". Voters approved a charter amendment in November 2011 changing the city's official name to the "City of Amesbury" and removing references to the old "Town of Amesbury" name.


The city's seal still bears the name "Town of Amesbury", although the City put forth a bill in 2013 to correct the seal with the new name. The community has several buildings that feature early architecture, particularly in the Federal and Victorian styles.
