From 1894 until 1965 East Barnet formed part of the East Barnet Urban District of Hertfordshire. In 1965, it was transferred from Hertfordshire to Greater London; and its former area was amalgamated with Barnet Urban District, Friern Barnet Urban District, Finchley Borough and Hendon Borough to form the new London Borough of Barnet.
[edit] Governance
Barnet local elections are held every four years to elect councillors. East Barnet is covered by two wards:
- East Barnet Ward - East of the railway line and north of Parkside Gardens / Stuart Road.
- Brunswick Park Ward - East of the railway line and south of Parkside Gardens / Stuart Road.
East Barnet Parish Church is therefore actually in Brunswick Park Ward.
