Civil Parishes
Over its existence the rural district consisted of the following civil parishes:
- Arkley (formed from the rural part of the parish of Chipping Barnet in 1894)
- Elstree

Totteridge constituted an exclave. Arkley became part of the Barnet Urban District in 1905, and was joined there by Totteridge in 1914.

Famous quotes containing the word civil:
“When civil fury first grew high,
And men fell out, they knew not why;
When hard words, jealousies, and fears,
Set folks together by the ears,
And made them fight, like mad or drunk,
For Dame Religion, as for punk;”
—Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
