Woodbridge Rural District
Former rural district in East Suffolk, England
• Created
Woodbridge Rural District was a rural district within the administrative county of East Suffolk between 1894 and 1934. It was created out of the earlier Woodbridge rural sanitary district.[1] It surrounded the town of Woodbridge, which had earlier been created as an urban district.
In 1934, under a County Review Order, Woodbridge Rural District was abolished and its parishes transferred to the new Deben Rural District.
