Hemsworth Rural District

Hemsworth Rural District

Hemsworth was a rural district in the West Riding of Yorkshire from 1894 to 1974.

The district was created in 1894. Hemsworth was made a separate urban district in the 1920s, the entirely surrounded it. In the 1930s it lost the parishes of Hamphall Stubbs and Skelbrooke to Doncaster Rural District, and Wintersett to Wakefield Rural District. It also picked up Billingley from the disbanded Barnsley Rural District.

The district was abolished in 1974 by the Local Government Act 1972. The area it administered was split three ways:
*Billingley, Brierley, Great Houghton, Grimethorpe, Little Houghton, and Shafton going to the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley in South Yorkshire;
*the parishes of Kirk Smeaton, Little Smeaton and Walden Stubbs going to the district of Selby in North Yorkshire,
*the remainder going to the Metropolitan Borough of Wakefield in West Yorkshire.
