'''Salford Hundred''', sometimes called '''Salfordshire''' or the '''Salford Wapentake''', 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 roughly the [[Metropolitan Borough of Wigan]]). As well as Salford, the Hundred includes the settlements of [[Ashton-under-Lyne]], [[Bolton]], [[Bury]], [[Manchester]] and [[Rochdale]]. 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. The subdivision was never formally abolished but ceased to have any role in local politics in the mid-18th century. However, Salford Hundred Court survived until the mid-19th century.
