The Borough of Warrington was established in 1974 under the [[Local Government Act 1972]]. The borough is significantly larger than its predecessor, the Warrington County Borough, covering the Warrington Rural District in Lancashire and parts of the Runcorn Rural District (namely the parishes [[Appleton Thorn|Appleton]], [[Grappenhall]], [[Hatton, Warrington|Hatton]], [[Stockton Heath]], [[Stretton, Warrington|Stretton]], and [[Walton, Cheshire|Walton]]) in [[Cheshire]]. Initially a district within the wider Cheshire non-metropolitan county council area (not to be confused for the traditional county Cheshire), [[Warrington Borough Council]] would become a unitary authority in 1998.
