Creation

the following text is based on an article in Wikipedia

The district was formed by the Local Government Act 1894 as successor to the Leeds Rural Sanitary District. A directly-elected rural district council (RDC) replaced the previous rural sanitary authority, which had consisted of the poor law guardians for the area. The district comprised the two civil parishes of Roundhay and Seacroft.

Abolition
