The Municipal Borough of Brentford and Chiswick was a district in the metropolitan area of the British capital London . It existed from 1927 to 1965 and was located in the center of the former county of Middlesex .
history
New Brentford, Old Brentford and Chiswick were originally Civil parishes in the Harde (hundred) Ossulstone. In 1874 a local board of health was created for the whole of Brentford with competencies in the infrastructure sector . In the following year, this resulted in an urban sanitary district with extended powers. In 1883 Chiswick also received this status. Both health districts were reconstituted as urban districts in 1894 . These in turn merged in 1927 and formed a common municipal borough .
When the Greater London administrative region was founded in 1965, the merger of the municipal boroughs Brentford and Chiswick and Heston and Isleworth and the Feltham Urban District resulted in the London Borough of Hounslow .
