Croft Rural District

Croft was a rural district in the North [Riding of Yorkshire] from 1894 to 1974.
It was created under the Local [Government Act 1894] from that part of the Darlington rural [sanitary district] which was in the North Riding. It was named after Croft-on-Tees.
It was abolished under the Local [Government Act 1972] in 1974. The parishes of Girsby and Over Dinsdale went to form part of the new North Yorkshire district of Hambleton, with the rest going to the Richmondshire district.
