history
Edmonton was originally a Civil parish and capital of the Harde (hundred) of the same name . In 1850 a local board of health was created with competencies in the infrastructure sector . From this, an urban sanitary district was created in 1875 with expanded powers. In 1881 Southgate separated from Edmonton and became an independent district. In 1894 the health district was reconstituted as the Urban District . This in turn received in 1937 the status of a Municipal Borough .
When the Greater London administrative region was founded in 1965, the London Borough of Enfield was formed from the merger of the Municipal Boroughs of Edmonton, Enfield and Southgate .
