Woburn Rural District

History of Bedfordshire

About

Woburn was a rural district in Bedfordshire, England from 1894 to 1900, covering Woburn and surrounding parishes.

The district had its origins in the Woburn Rural Sanitary District. This had been created under the Public Health Acts of 1872 and 1875, giving public health and local government responsibilities for rural areas to the existing Boards of Guardians of Poor Law Unions.
