The borough of Bolton covers Bolton, as well as nearby towns such as Kearsley, Farnworth, Horwich, Blackrod, Little Lever and Westhoughton together with a number of villages around the West Pennine Moors.

The current borough was formed on April 1, 1974, by the merger of the old county borough of Bolton, the municipal borough of Farnworth, the urban districts of Blackrod, Horwich, Kearsley, Little Lever, and Westhoughton, as well as the southern part of Turton urban district, specifically the villages of Bradshaw, Bromley Cross, Dunscar, Egerton and Harwood.
