Murton Civil Parish, County Durham


 

Settlements: Murton, Cold Hesledon

Population: 7,676 (2011 Census)

Historically, Murton was a township in the ancient parish of Dalton-le-Dale. Then, in 1894, the Civil Parish of East Murton was established (by the Local Government Act 1894). The first meeting of the East Murton Parish Council was held in a classroom at Murton Colliery School, on the 4th of December 1894.[1] At that time there was West Murton (the small 'old' settlement) and East Murton (the 'new' and growing settlement that developed around Murton Colliery, which had opened in 1843). In c.1972 the 'East' was dropped from the title and it became Murton Parish Council.
