Peterborough Rural District

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peterborough was a rural district near Peterborough in England from 1894 to 1974.

It was created in 1894 under the Local Government Act 1972, from the part of the Peterborough rural sanitary district that was in the Soke of Peterborough (the rest, in Huntingdonshire, formed the Norman Cross Rural District).

In 1965 the Soke was merged into Huntingdon and Peterborough.

In 1974 the district was abolished under the Local Government Act 1972, and it was merged into the Peterborough district of the new non-metropolitan county of Cambridgeshire.
