The ward of Cumberland was one of the ancient divisions of the historic county of Cumberland. In most other counties these dvisions were called hundreds or Wapentakes.
The ward included Carlisle and Wigton and took in parts of Inglewood Forest. It was bounded on the north and east by Eskdale Ward, on the south by Leath Ward and the west by Allerdale-below-Derwent Ward.
The parish of Stanwix just to the north of Carlisle was partly in both Eskdale and Cumberland wards.
