Districts of Sheffield

Sheffield is a city and metropolitan borough in the north of England. The districts of Sheffield vary widely in size and history. Many of the districts developed from villages or hamlets that have become absorbed into Sheffield as the city has grown. For this reason, whilst the centre of most districts is easy to define, the boundaries of many of the districts are ambiguous. Districts in Sheffield have little administrative role: for the purposes of local elections the city is subdivided into 28 electoral wards, and for the purposes of national elections the electoral wards are grouped into Parliamentary constituencies.
