A local board of health was established in 1852, which, taking its name from Morecambe Bay, became the borough of Morecambe in 1902.^[1]

Poulton is known locally for its many murals which depict the origin of Poulton as a fishing village.^[2] Artist Patricia Haskey-Knowles completed several of these in the Morecambe Bay area.^[3]

Poulton was first mentioned in the Domesday Book as Poltune. It later became Poulton and remained this way for a number of centuries. The name 'Poulton' is likely a combination of Old English pull or pōl, meaning 'pool' and tūn meaning 'farmstead'.^[4] It was towards the end of the eighteenth or the beginning of the nineteenth century that the Le-Sands was added. This was to distinguish it from another Poulton located near Blackpool which is now Poulton-le-Fylde.
