history
Friern Barnet was originally a Civil parish in the Harde (hundred) Ossulstone.

Based on a petition from residents subject to property tax, the municipality formed its own health district from 1884, which was reconstituted as the Urban District ten years later .
When the Greater London administrative region was founded in 1965, the London Borough of Barnet was created . Friern Barnet and the municipal boroughs Finchley and Hendon in the county of Middlesex and the urban districts of Barnet and East Barnet in the county of Hertfordshire merged.
