history
Uxbridge was originally a chaplain (chapelry) of the parish of Hillingdon and received the status of a civil parish in 1866 . As early as 1849, a local board of health had been created with competencies in the area of infrastructure. In 1894 the health district was reconstituted as the Urban District , which included Uxbridge and Hillingdon West. When the Uxbridge Rural District was dissolved in 1929, the villages of Cowley, Harefield, Hillingdon East and Ickenham were added. In 1955 the Uxbridge Urban District received the status of a Municipal Borough .
When the Greater London administrative region was founded in 1965, the London Borough of Hillingdon was formed from the merger of the Municipal Borough of Uxbridge and the Urban Districts Hayes and Harlington , Ruislip-Northwood and Yiewsley and West Drayton .
