Watford Rural District

Encyclopedia : W : WA : WAT : Watford Rural District

Watford was a rural district in Hertfordshire, England, from 1894 to 1974. [link]. It originally consisted of contiguous land to the west, north and east of Watford, which was a separate urban district. Eventually expansion and creation of urban districts led to it becoming a number of exclaves [link]

Under the Local Government Act 1972 the district was abolished in 1974, and its territory was split, with the parish of Aldenham going to Hertsmere, part of Abbots Langley parish going to Dacorum, and the rest going to Three Rivers.
