South Cambridgeshire Rural District

52°05′46″N 0°05′13″E / 52.096°N 0.087°E / 52.096; 0.087 South Cambridgeshire was a rural district located in Cambridgeshire, England. It was established in 1934 under a County Review Order, resulting from the merger of Linton Rural District, Melbourn Rural District, and part of Caxton and Arrington Rural District. In 1965, it became part of the new administrative county of Cambridgeshire and the Isle of Ely. The council offices were situated at County Hall, Hobson Street, Cambridge, and the Council held its meetings at Shire Hall, Castle Hill, also in Cambridge, though both locations were outside the district. It was abolished in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972 and merged with the Chesterton Rural District to form a new South Cambridgeshire district.
