Municipal Borough of Wood Green
The Municipal Borough of Wood Green was a district in the metropolitan area of the British capital London . It existed from 1888 to 1965 under different names and was located in the northeast of the former county of Middlesex .
history
Wood Green was originally part of the parish of Tottenham and saw rapid population growth in the second half of the 19th century. At the urging of the residents, who complained about the deterioration in infrastructure, the British Parliament passed a law in 1888 that resulted in the separation. It also enabled the creation of an urban sanitary district with expanded powers over infrastructure. 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 Haringey was formed from the merger of the municipal boroughs Hornsey , Tottenham and Wood Green .
