Wolverton Urban District

[5] The council held its first meeting on 3 January 1895 at the workhouse in Yardley Gobion, when George Edward Willes, rector of Calverton, was appointed the first chairman.

[11] New Bradwell was abolished as part of a county review order in 1934 and the area of the urban district and civil parish of Wolverton became coterminous.

[12] Following the Local Government Act 1972, Wolverton Urban District was abolished in 1974, when the area became part of the Borough of Milton Keynes.

Initially, no successor parish was created, and so the former district was governed directly by Milton Keynes Borough Council.

In 1949 the council acquired the former White Hart public house at 8 Market Square in the centre of Stony Stratford, which had been most recently used as a working men's club.
