It included the towns of Congleton, Alsager, Holmes Chapel, Middlewich and Sandbach. The headquarters of the borough council were located in Sandbach. CreationThe borough was formed on 1 April 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972 by the merger of the former borough of Congleton, the urban districts of Alsager, Middlewich and Sandbach, and the Congleton Rural District. Civil ParishesCongleton was divided into 23 civil parishes and included no unparished areas.

These are Hulme Walfield and Somerford Booths, whose single parish council is called "Hulme Walfield and Somerford Booths Parish Council", and Newbold Astbury and Moreton cum Alcumlow, whose single parish council is called "Newbold Astbury-cum-Moreton Parish Council".[1] The following civil parishes were included in the borough:
