PopulationLastYear= 1901South Hornsey was a local government district in
Middlesex ,England from 1865 to 1900.The district was formed in 1865 when the
Local Government Act 1858 was adopted in the southern part of the parish of Hornsey. South Hornsey Local Board was formed to govern the area.cite web | title=Hornsey, including Highgate | url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=22515 | publication=A History of the County of Middlesex: Volume 6: Friern Barnet, Finchley, Hornsey with Highgate | year=1980 | accessdate=2008-02-23]The majority of the district (172 acres) consisted of the Brownswood Park area south east of
Finsbury Park . There were also two detached portions with a total area of 60 acres which were surrounded by the parishes of Stoke Newington andIslington . Under theLocal Government Act 1888 , Islington and Stoke Newington became part of theCounty of London , and the outlying parts of South Hornsey becameexclaves of Middlesex within the new county.The
Local Government Act 1894 reconstituted the area as anurban district , and South Hornsey Urban District Council replaced the local board. South Hornsey became a separatecivil parish at the same time.Frederic A Youngs Jr., "Guide to the Administrative Units of England", Vol. I: Southern England, London, 1979]The
London Government Act 1899 divided the County of London intometropolitan borough s and provided for boundary revisions to provide more effective administartion. Accordingly South Hornsey Urban District was abolished in 1900, with the bulk of its area included in theMetropolitan Borough of Stoke Newington , and a small part to the the neighbouring Borough of Islington.The records of South Hornsey Local Board and Urban District are held by the archives department of the
London Borough of Hackney . [ [http://www.hackney.gov.uk/servapps/history/data/ha_7.htm "South Hornsey Local Board of Health/Urban District Council Records", Hackney Live, accessed February 23, 2008] ]References
