South Westmorland Rural District

South Westmorland was a rural district in Westmorland, England from 1894 to 1974. It saw various boundary changes during its life, particularly in 1935, when it absorbed Kirkby Lonsdale urban district, whilst the Lakes UD was split out at the same time. The district was merged in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972 to form part of the South Lakeland district of Cumbria.
