Municipal Borough of Leyton
Encyclopedia : M : MU : MUN : Municipal Borough of Leyton
Leyton was a local government district in south west Essex from 1894 to 1965 around the town of Leyton. It included the civil parishes of Leyton and Cann Hall.
It was created an urban district in 1894 by the Local Government Act 1894 and gained the status of municipal borough in 1926.
Adjacent boroughs were the County Borough of West Ham to the south, the Municipal Borough of Wanstead and Woodford to the east, the Municipal Borough of Walthamstow to the north and the Metropolitan Borough of Hackney in the County of London to the west. The borough ran its own tram services until they became the responsibility of the London Passenger Transport Board in 1933.
In 1965 the municipal borough was abolished by the London Government Act 1963 and its former area transferred to Greater London from Essex. Its former area was combined with that of other districts to form the present-day London Borough of Waltham Forest.
