In 1881, a separate urban sanitary district was finally created with extended powers in the infrastructure area; this also included the district of Palmers Green . In 1894 the health district was reconstituted as the Urban District . This in turn received the status of a Municipal Borough in 1933 .
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 .
