It was enlarged in 1935 when parts of the civil parishes of Pilsley, Stretton, Tupton and Woodthorpe were transferred to the district from Chesterfield Rural District.
The district was abolished in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972 and combined with Dronfield Urban District and Chesterfield Rural District (except the civil parish of Brimington) to form the new North East Derbyshire district.
