Background
History
The district was formed on 1 April 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972. The new district covered the area of six former districts, which were all abolished at the same time, plus Lundy Island: The new district was named after the River Torridge which flows through the area. The current districts of North Devon and Torridge (apart from Holsworthy) were originally planned to be 1 district. It was then decided to make them 2 districts and extract Holsworthy from West Devon.
