Ely Rural District
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ely was a rural district in England from 1894 to 1974. It was named after Ely, and surrounded it to the west and north.
It was created in 1894 under the Local Government Act 1894 from the Ely rural sanitary district. It formed part of the administrative county of the Isle of Ely from 1894 to 1965, when this was merged into Cambridgeshire and Isle of Ely.
In 1974 it was abolished, and its area made part of the new East Cambridgeshire district of Cambridgeshire.
