Municipal Borough of Dagenham
Dagenham
was a local government district in south west
Essex
, England from 1926 to 1965 covering the parish of
Dagenham
. Initially created as an urban district, it was incorporated as a municipal borough in 1938. It was established to deal with the increase in population and the change from rural to urban area caused by the building of the
Becontree
estate by the
London County Council
and the subsequent movement of people from
Inner London
. Peripheral to London, the district formed part of the
Metropolitan Police District
and
London Traffic Area
. It now forms the eastern sections of the
London Borough of Barking and Dagenham
and the
London Borough of Redbridge
in
Greater London
.
