'''Glanford''' was, from 1974 to 1996, a [[districts of England|local government district]] with [[borough status in the United Kingdom|borough status]] in the [[non-metropolitan county]] of [[Humberside]], [[England]].<ref name="guide"/>

==Creation==

'''Glanford''' was a borough of the [[England|English]] [[administrative counties of England|administrative county]] of [[Humberside]] from [[April 1]], [[1974]] to [[April 1]], [[1996]].

The district was created on 1 April 1974 as part of a general reform of local government in England and Wales under the [[Local Government Act 1972]]. Among the innovations of the 1974 reorganisation was the creation of a new county of Humberside uniting areas of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire previously divided by the [[Humber|Humber estuary]]. Glanford was one of nine districts into which Humberside was divided.<ref name="guide"/>

It was formed from the [[Lincolnshire]] districts of [[Barton-upon-Humber]], [[Brigg]], and [[Glanford Brigg Rural District]]. When Humberside was abolished in [[1996]] it became part of the [[North Lincolnshire]] [[unitary authority]].

Glanford was formed by merging three districts, previously part of the [[administrative counties of England|administrative county]] of [[Parts of Lindsey|Lincolnshire - Parts of Lindsey]]: [[Barton upon Humber Urban District]], [[Brigg Urban District]] and [[Glanford Brigg Rural District]].<ref name="guide"/> The borough was bounded by [[Cleethorpes (borough)|Cleethorpes]] to the east, [[Lincolnshire]] to the south, [[Boothferry (district)|Boothferry]] to the west, and had a shore on the Humber estuary to the north. It entirely surrounded the [[Borough of Scunthorpe]].

==Abolition==

Following a review by the [[Local Government Commission for England (1992)|Local Government Commission for England]], both the County of Humberside and Borough of Glanford were abolished on 1 April 1996. Four unitary authorities replaced both the county council and nine district councils, and Glanford was merged with the Borough of Scunthorpe and part of the [[Boothferry (district)|Borough of Boothferry]] to form the unitary authority of [[North Lincolnshire]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si1995/Uksi_19950600_en_1.htm |title=The Humberside (Structural Change) Order 1995 |access-date=12 January 2009 |publisher=[[Office of Public Sector Information]] |year=1995 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090214105047/http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si1995/Uksi_19950600_en_1.htm |archive-date=14 February 2009 }}</ref>
