Barnet (after 1941 Elstree) was a rural district in Hertfordshire, England from 1894 to 1974.
It was formed under the Local Government Act 1894 under the name of Barnet, [1] and consisted of the parishes of Arkley, Elstree, Ridge, Shenley and Totteridge. The parish of Totteridge constituted an exclave. [2] This represented all of the previous Barnet rural sanitary district, apart from the parish of South Mimms in Middlesex which went to form a single-parish South Mimms Rural District.
Arkley became part of the Barnet Urban District in 1905, and was joined there by Totteridge in 1914.
The remaining district was renamed the Elstree rural district in 1941. [3] It was abolished in 1974, and merged with other districts to form the Hertsmere borough.
