'''Salford Hundred''', sometimes called '''Salfordshire''', is a traditional subdivison of Lancashire. It effectively covers the south-east part of Lancashire, or the Lancastrian parts of the Greater Manchester combined authority (excluding effectively the [[Metropolitan Borough of Wigan]]). The Hundred was established prior to the establishment of the county Lancashire itself (which came in the late 12th century) and it was recorded in the ''[[Domesday Book]]'' (1086) as having been held by [[Edward the Confessor]] prior to the [[Norman]] conquest of 1066.
