'Uxbridge' was a local government district in north west Middlesex from 1894 to 1965 around the town of Uxbridge.
It was created an urban district in 1894 by the Local Government Act 1894 and gained the status of municipal borough in 1955. ^[1]
The district initially consisted of the parishes of Uxbridge and Hillingdon West. In 1929 it was enlarged by gaining from Uxbridge Rural District the parishes of Cowley, Harefield, Hillingdon East and Ickenham. The parishes were abolished in 1938 in order to create an enlarged Uxbridge parish covering the same area as the district. In 1955 it was incorporated as a borough.
In 1965 the borough was abolished and its former area transferred to Greater London and used to form part of the London Borough of Hillingdon.
