Wharfedale Rural District
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wharfedale was a rural district in the West Riding of Yorkshire from 1894 to 1974. It was named after Wharfedale.
It was abolished in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, and split between two new districts. The parishes of Arthington, Bramhope, East Carlton and Pool went to the Metropolitan District of Leeds in West Yorkshire, with the rest becoming part of the borough of Harrogate in North Yorkshire.
