Wigan Rural District

Wigan Rural District

Wigan was a rural district in Lancashire, England from 1894 to 1974. It consisted of six parishes near Wigan - Dalton, Haigh, Parbold, Shevington, Worthington and Wrightington.

It was created by the Local Government Act 1894, and abolished by the Local Government Act 1972 in 1974. Its territory was split between the new districts of Metropolitan Borough of Wigan in Greater Manchester, and West Lancashire, with the parishes of Haigh, Shevington, and Worthington going to the former, and the others going to the latter.
