Ruislip-Northwood Urban District
The Ruislip-Northwood Urban District was a district in the metropolitan area of the British capital London . It existed from 1904 to 1965 and was located in the northwest of the former county of Middlesex .
history
The founding of the district took place on September 30, 1904. It was created by the separation of the Civil parish Ruislip , which had previously been part of the Uxbridge Rural District . The Civil parish had included the villages of Ruislip Manor, South Ruislip, Eastcote, and Northwood. After the opening of a branch of the Metropolitan Railway in the same year, the new district saw a sharp increase in population. The growth was particularly great in the 1930s, when the area was specifically marketed under the name Metro-land .
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 .
