Selby (district) :
For other uses of "Selby", see } . Selby is a
local government district of
North Yorkshire ,
England . The local authority,
Selby District Council , is based in the town of
Selby and provides services to an area which includes
Tadcaster and a host of villages.
The district was formed on
April 1 ,
1974 by the merger of
Selby Urban District and parts of
Derwent Rural District ,
Hemsworth Rural District ,
Osgoldcross Rural District and
Tadcaster Rural District . Of these, Derwent Rural District was in the
historic East Riding of Yorkshire , the rest being in the
West Riding of Yorkshire .
On
April 1 ,
1996 the parishes of
Acaster Malbis ,
Askham Bryan ,
Askham Richard ,
Bishopthorpe ,
Copmanthorpe ,
Deighton ,
Dunnington ,
Elvington ,
Fulford ,
Heslington ,
Kexby ,
Naburn and
Wheldrake were all transferred from the district to form part of the new City of
York unitary authority . According to the 2001 census these parishes had a population of 22,873.
As a result Selby is now geographically isolated from much of the rest of
North Yorkshire , and it had been suggested in now-moot plans in association with
regional assemblies that it would be better annexed to the
East Riding of Yorkshire unitary authority than with any of the other North Yorkshire districts.
Selby is twinned with
Carentan in France and
Filderstadt in Germany.
