St Albans City and District

City and District of St Albans is an administrative district in Hertfordshire, England.

The district includes

• The City of St Albans (approx. 58,000 inhabitants)
• the town of Harpenden (approx. 27,600 inhabitants)
• the parishes of Colney Heath, Harpenden Rural, London Colney, Redbourn, St Michael, St Stephen (including the villages of Chiswell Green and Bricket Wood), Sandridge and Wheathampstead.

The unusual name for a district has arisen from the fact that in its area are two urban areas and several villages. Normally, districts in which a city is located also bear only the name City of (e.g. City of Peterborough).

The District was formed in 1974 by a merger of St Albans City Council, Harpenden Urban District Council and St Albans Rural District Council. Although the official name of the District Council is St Albans District Council, the name St Albans City & District is used on all vehicles, letterheads and the website.
