The Feltham Urban District was a district in the metropolitan area of ​​the British capital London . It existed from 1904 to 1965 and was located in the south of the former county of Middlesex .

history

Feltham was originally a Civil parish in the Harde (hundred) Spelthorne. From 1894, the community was part of the Staines Rural District , but was separated ten years later and formed its own urban district . When the rest of the Staines Rural District was dissolved in 1930, the previously independent parishes of East Bedfont and Hanworth merged with Feltham, which almost tripled the area.

When the Greater London administrative region was founded in 1965, Feltham merged with the municipal boroughs of Brentford and Chiswick and Heston and Isleworth to create the London Borough of Hounslow .
