It was created as an urban district in 1894 under the Local Government Act 1894 and subsequently elevated to the status of Municipal Borough in 1936.

The borough was abolished in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972 and combined with the Grimsby Rural District to form the new Cleethorpes borough in Humberside. The post-1974 Cleethorpes borough was subsequently abolished in 1996 and replaced with the North East Lincolnshire unitary authority.
