'''South Ribble''' is a [[non-metropolitan district|local government district]] with [[Borough status in the United Kingdom|borough status]] in [[Lancashire]], England. Its council is based in [[Leyland, Lancashire|Leyland]]. The borough includes the towns and villages of [[Penwortham]], Leyland, Farington, Farington Moss, Hutton, Longton, Walmer Bridge, Much Hoole, Coupe Green,  [[Samlesbury]], [[Lostock Hall]], [[Walton-le-Dale]] and [[Bamber Bridge]]. Many of the built-up areas in the borough form part of the wider [[Central Lancashire#Preston Built-up Area|Preston built-up area]].

The neighbouring districts are [[City of Preston, Lancashire|Preston]], [[Ribble Valley]], [[Blackburn with Darwen]], [[Borough of Chorley|Chorley]], [[West Lancashire]] and [[Borough of Fylde|Fylde]].

==History==
The district was formed on 1 April 1974 under the [[Local Government Act 1972]], covering the whole area of two former districts and parts of a third, which were abolished at the same time:<ref>{{cite legislation UK|type=si|si=The English Non-metropolitan Districts (Definition) Order 1972|year=1972|number=2039|accessdate=22 August 2022}}</ref>
*[[Leyland, Lancashire|Leyland]] [[Urban district (England and Wales)|Urban District]]
*[[Preston Rural District]] (parishes of [[Cuerdale]], [[Farington]], [[Hutton, Lancashire|Hutton]], [[Little Hoole]], [[Longton, Lancashire|Longton]], [[Much Hoole]], [[Penwortham]] and [[Samlesbury]] only, rest split between Preston and Ribble Valley)
*[[Walton-le-Dale]] Urban District (which included [[Bamber Bridge]])

The new district was named South Ribble, reflecting the fact that the [[River Ribble]] forms its northern boundary.<ref>{{cite legislation UK|type=si|si=The English Non-metropolitan Districts (Names) Order 1973|year=1973|number=551|accessdate=22 August 2022}}</ref> The new district was awarded [[Borough status in the United Kingdom|borough status]] from its creation, allowing the chair of the council to take the title of mayor.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/written-answers/1974/mar/28/district-councils-and-boroughs#S5CV0871P0_19740328_CWA_145|title=District Councils and Boroughs|date=28 March 1974|work=[[Hansard|Parliamentary Debates (Hansard)]]|access-date=16 January 2012}}</ref>
