Fulham was a local government district within the metropolitan area of London, England from 1855 to 1886. It was formed by the Metropolis Management Act 1855 and was governed by the Fulham District Board of Works, which consisted of elected vestrymen. It was in the part of the county of Middlesex that was within the area of the Metropolitan Board of Works. It occupied broadly the same area as the current London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.
The district comprised the civil parishes of Fulham and Hammersmith.[1]
The district was abolished in 1886 with the vestry of each parish taking on local administration.[1] Each parish would go on to form a metropolitan borough in the County of London in 1900. These two were merged in 1965 to form the London Borough of Hammersmith.
