List Of Sanitary Districts In Dorset
Under the Public Health Acts 1873 and 1875 the Poor Law Unions were used as the basis for sanitary districts.

Between the Anglo-Saxon period and the Local Government Act (1888), the county of Dorset was divided into hundreds and boroughs (and from the mediaeval period, liberties as well). The Local Government Act (1888) replaced the hundreds and liberties with urban and rural districts, based on the sanitary districts of the Poor Law Unions which existed in parallel with the hundreds/liberties from 1834. While numerous minor changes took place during that period, the general pattern remained stable. The subdivisions below within hundreds and liberties are the old civil parishes, into which the tithings (the original sub-divisions of the hundreds) came to be fitted. (''Civil parish'' is used here in the sense of an "area for which a poor rate is or can be assessed", a unit which has thus been in existence ''de facto'' from the establishment of the Elizabethan Poor Law; the term itself dates from mid 19th century legislation ...
