What is Districts of England?
The '''districts of England''' are a level of subdivisions of [[England]] used for the purposes of [[local government]]. The first local government districts were created in 1894 by the [[Local Government Act 1894]] which created urban districts and rural districts as sub-divisions of counties (which had been created in 1889). Another reform in 1899 created 28 metropolitan boroughs as sub-divisions of the [[County of London]]. There are 36 metropolitan districts, 32 London boroughs, 238 non-metropolitan districts, 46 unitary authorities, the [[Isles of Scilly]], and the [[City of London]], making a total of 354 district-level authorities. {{UK-stub}} [[Category:District and borough councils in England| Districts of England]] [[Category:1894 establishments in the United Kingdom]] [[Category:1890s establishments in England]]
