The district was enlarged in 1938 by gaining part of the former Little Burstead parish from Billericay Urban District. The district was abolished in 1974. The part within Basildon New Town became part of Basildon District, while the remainder became the present-day Borough of Thurrock. It has since become a unitary authority with largely the same boundaries. References
