Tottenham was a local government district in south east Middlesex from 1850 to 1965.
In 1850 a local board of health was established for the civil parish of Tottenham. In 1875 the local board became an urban sanitary authority, without change of name. In 1888 the district was divided, with Wood Green gaining its own local board.
Tottenham was created an urban district in 1894, under the Local Government Act 1894, and incorporated as a municipal borough in 1934. It was part of the London postal district and Metropolitan Police District.
In 1965, the municipal borough was abolished and its former area transferred to Greater London under the London Government Act 1963. Its former area was combined with that of other districts to form the present-day London Borough of Haringey.
