It was an ancient parish within the county of Middlesex, and formed part of The Metropolis from 1855. The parish was transferred to the County of London in 1889 and became a metropolitan borough in 1900. It was amalgamated with the Metropolitan Borough of Finsbury to form the London Borough of Islington in Greater London in 1965. GeographyThe borough comprised the districts of Pentonville (also partly in Clerkenwell/Finsbury), Islington (also partly in Clerkenwell/Finsbury), Barnsbury, Lower Holloway, Holloway, Tufnell Park (also partly in St Pancras), Archway, Highbury, and Canonbury. The neighbouring boroughs were Finsbury, Hackney, Stoke Newington, Shoreditch, St Pancras. GovernanceThe parish of St Mary Islington operated as an open vestry.[1] It was added to the bills of mortality area in 1636. The vestry was incorporated by the Metropolis Management Act 1855 as an administrative vestry in the metropolitan area. ServicesThe vestry started work on an electricity supply service at Eden Grove in 1894, which became operational in 1896. New streets were lit with electric light from 1906. In 1936 electricity showrooms were opened at the corner of Holloway Road and Camden Road.[2] The electric supply service became part of the London Electricity Board following the Electricity Act 1947. Poor lawIt was a local act parish so did not come under the Poor Law Amendment Act 1834 and the vestry continued to be responsible for poor relief, instead of a separately elected board of guardians. This anomaly was rectified by the Metropolitan Poor Act 1867. The parish was large enough in terms of population to avoid being grouped into a poor law union and remained a single parish for this purpose. Town HallThe town hall is on Upper Street, and was opened in 1923. It is a listed building. The Town hall is the headquarters, and contains the council chambers of the successor authority, Islington London Borough Council. Population and areaThe metropolitan borough was conterminous with the Vestry authority, when it was formed in 1900. Statistics compiled by the London County Council, in 1901 show the population growth in London, over the preceding century. The area of the borough in 1901 was {{convert|3091|acre|km2|1}}. The populations recorded in National Censuses were: Islington Vestry 1801–1899
By comparison, after amalgamation with Finsbury, to form the modern London Borough of Islington, the combined area became {{convert|3672|acre|km2|1}}; in 2005, this had a population of 182,600,[6] or a population density of 12,288/km². In 1901 Islington the population density was 26,778/km². Archival recordsIslington Local History Centre holds records of the Metropolitan Borough of Islington, including council and committee minutes, rate books and publications.[7]PoliticsUnder the Metropolis Management Act 1855 any parish that exceeded 2,000 ratepayers was to be divided into wards; as such the incorporated vestry of St Mary Islington was divided into six wards (electing vestrymen): No. 1 or Upper Holloway (9), No. 2 or Lower Holloway (12), No. 3 or Highbury (15), No. 4 or Thornhill (18), No. 5 or Barnsbury (18), No. 6 or St Mary's (15), No. 7 or Canonbury (15) and No. 8 or St Peter's (18).[8][9] In 1896 as its population had increased the incorporated vestry was re-divided into eleven wards (electing vestrymen): No. 1 or Tufnell (12), No. 2 or Upper Holloway (12), No. 3 or Tollington (9), No. 4 or Lower Holloway (15), No. 5 or West Highbury (15), No. 6 or East Highbury (12), No. 7 or Thornhill (9), No. 8 or Barnsbury (6), No. 9 or St Mary's (9), No. 10 or Canonbury (9) and No. 11 or St Peter's (12).[10] The metropolitan borough was divided into eleven wards for elections: Barnsbury, Canonbury, Highbury, Lower Holloway, Mildmay, St Mary, St Peter, Thornhill, Tollington, Tufnell and Upper Holloway.[11][12] Borough councilParliament constituencyFor elections to Parliament, the borough was divided into four constituencies:
