The Arms of The Huntingdon and Peterborough County Council

It was formed in 1965 by the merger of the administrations of Soke of Peterborough and Huntingdonshire, both very small counties, in an attempt to make a more viable administrative unit. To these were attached the Thorney Rural District from the Isle of Ely.

This attempt was deemed a failure and so the area became part of the non-metropolitan county of Cambridgeshire in 1974.
