- List of sanitary districts in Dorset
Under the Public Health Acts 1873 and 1875 the Poor Law Unions were used as the basis for sanitary districts. All municipal boroughs and areas with bodies such as
improvement commissioners became Urban Sanitary Districts. (Any area which acquired borough or urban status after the Act also became at that point an Urban Sanitary District). The remaining areas of the country - ie, the Unions minus the urban areas - became Rural Sanitary Districts.Under the
Local Government Act 1894 the Urban and Rural Sanitary Districts inDorset were succeeded by Urban Districts and Rural Districts.anitary districts in Dorset between 1875 and 1894
