Municipal Borough of Dunstable
History of Bedfordshire
About
The town of Dunstable in Bedfordshire, England was governed as an ancient borough between the twelfth century and the sixteenth century. The town’s borough status was effectively lost after 1541, following the English Reformation. Urban local government returned to the town in 1863 with the establishment of a local board. The following year borough status was restored to the town when it was made a municipal borough.
Dunstable Borough was abolished in 1974, merging with other districts to become South Bedfordshire.
