Glanford was, from 1974 to 1996, a local government district with borough status in the non-metropolitan county of Humberside, England.[1]
Creation
The district was created on 1 April 1974 as part of a general reform of local government in England and Wales under the Local Government Act 1972. Among the innovations of the 1974 reorganisation was the creation of a new county of Humberside uniting areas of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire previously divided by the River Humber. Glanford was one of nine districts into which Humberside was divided.[1]
Glanford was formed by merging three districts, previously part of the administrative county of Lincolnshire - Parts of Lindsey: Barton-upon-Humber urban district, Brigg urban district and Glanford Brigg Rural District.[1] The borough was bounded by Cleethorpes to the east, Lincolnshire to the south, Boothferry to the west, and had a shore on the River Humber to the north. It entirely surrounded the Borough of Scunthorpe.
Abolition
When Humberside was abolished in 1996 it became part of the North Lincolnshire unitary authority.
