'Chingford' was a local government district in south west
Essex from 1894 to 1965 around the town of
Chingford.
It was created an
urban district in 1894 by the
Local Government Act 1894 and gained the status of
municipal borough in 1938. It was part of the
London postal district and
Metropolitan Police District.
In 1965 the municipal borough was abolished by the
London Government Act 1963 and its former area transferred to
Greater London from Essex. Its former area was combined with parts of other districts to form the present-day
London Borough of Waltham Forest.
