Colne Valley was an urban district in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England between 1937 and 1974. It takes its name from the River Colne which rises above the town of Marsden and flows eastward towards Huddersfield.
Colne Valley Urban District was formed on 1 April 1937 following the abolition of many of the urban districts and reallocation of land surrounding Huddersfield and comprised the following former urban district areas:[2][1]
584 hectares (1,440 acres) of Golcar Urban District — population 7,875
404 hectares (1,000 acres) of Linthwaite Urban District — population 5,220
Marsden Urban District — 3,493 hectares (8,630 acres), population 5,723
Scammonden Urban District — 731 hectares (1,810 acres), population 394
Slaithwaite Urban District — 1,284 hectares (3,170 acres), population 5,183
Colne Valley UD was abolished under the Local Government Act 1972, becoming part of the Metropolitan Borough of Kirklees on 1 April 1974. No successor parish was created for the area, but its boundaries remain reflected in a ward of the same name on Kirklees Council.
