Poor law unions
The parishes of the county were grouped under the Poor Law Amendment Act 1834 to form unions . Each union was administered by a board of guardians elected by the parish ratepayers . The boundaries of the unions would later be used to define rural sanitary districts in 1875 and rural districts in 1894 . Poor law unions were abolished in 1930 by the Local Government Act 1929 .
The History of local government districts in Buckinghamshire began in 1835 with the formation of poor law unions. This was followed by the creation of various forms of local government body. In 1894 the existing arrangements were replaced with a system of municipal boroughs, urban and rural districts, which remained in place until 1974.
