Hadham Rural District

Hadham was a rural district in Hertfordshire, England from 1894 to 1935.

It was created in 1894 from that part of the Bishop's Stortford rural sanitary district that was in Hertfordshire (the Essex part forming the Stansted Rural District). It consisted of the following parishes

The district appears to have been known originally as the Bishop's Stortford RD but the new name of Hadham was adopted by 1895. A parish of High Wych was added in 1901, created from part of Sawbridgeworth.

The district was abolished in 1935 under a County Review Order. The bulk of the district became part of the new Braughing Rural District (along with most of the Buntingford Rural District), with parts going to Bishop's Stortford urban district and to the Ware Rural District.

Since 1974 the area has formed part of the East Hertfordshire local government district.
