Boundary Changes
Under the Local Government Act 1929 county councils were given the duty of reviewing all urban and rural districts within their area. In Gloucestershire there were a number of very small districts, and under the County of Gloucester Review Order 1935, Gloucester RD was enlarged by the transfer of the whole or parts of five abolished districts.
Between 1951 and 1967 a number of areas suburban to Gloucester were removed from the rural district when the city boundaries were extended.
