Hornsey was originally a Civil parish in the Harde (hundred) Ossulstone. Three small exclaves were enclosed by the neighboring parish of Stoke Newington, went into business in 1865 and formed the parish of South Hornsey.

In 1894 the health district was reconstituted as the Urban District . This in turn received 1903 the status of a Municipal Borough .
When the Greater London administrative region was founded in 1965, the London Borough of Haringey was formed from the merger of the municipal boroughs Hornsey, Tottenham and Wood Green .
