Creation
Barnet Local Government District was created on September 25, 1863 under the Local Government Act 1858, and was governed by a local board. The Local Government Act 1894 reconstituted the area as an urban district and the local board was replaced by an elected Barnet Urban District Council. The urban district was extended in 1905, 1914 and 1935.

“Language ought to be the joint creation of poets and manual workers.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
