North Cheshire (UK Parliament constituency)
North Cheshire is a former United Kingdom parliamentary constituency. It was created upon the division of Cheshire in 1832. In 1868 it was abolished with South Cheshire to form East Cheshire, Mid Cheshire, West Cheshire and Stalybridge.
History
North Cheshire, or the Northern Division of Cheshire, was created as a two-member constituency under the Representation of the People Act 1832 (Great Reform Act) as one of 2 divisions, along with South Cheshire, of the Parliamentary County of Cheshire. It comprised the Hundreds of Macclesfield and Bucklow. Under the Reform Act 1867, Cheshire was further divided with the creation of Mid Cheshire, to which the Bucklow Hundred was transferred. North Cheshire, now comprising the Hundred of Macclesfield was renamed East Cheshire by the Boundaries Act 1868.
