Municipal Borough of Wood Green

The Municipal Borough of Wood Green was a district in the metropolitan area of the British capital London. It existed from 1888 to 1965 under various names and lay in the north- east of the former county of Middlesex.

History

Wood Green was originally a village in the municipality Tottenham and experienced in the second half of the 19th century, rapid population growth. At the urging of residents who complained about the deterioration of the infrastructure, the British Parliament in 1888 passed a law that had the separation. It also enabled the creation of an urban health district ( urban sanitary district ) with extended powers in the infrastructure sector. 1894 reconstituted the health district as Urban District. This, in turn, received in 1933 the status of a municipal borough.

With the establishment of the administrative region of Greater London in 1965 arose from the merger of the Municipal Boroughs Hornsey, Tottenham and Wood Green London Borough of Haringey.
