Samford Rural District was a rural district within the administrative county of East Suffolk between 1894 and 1974. It was created out of the earlier Samford rural sanitary district.[1]

Under the East Suffolk County Review Order of 1934, the only changes made were a revision of the boundary with the county borough of Ipswich. This boundary was revised again in 1952.

Under the Local Government Act 1972, Samford Rural District was abolished in 1974, and its area became part of the district of Babergh.

gollark: So I can remotely convert any of your webservers into a teapot?

gollark: But what if I have a URL longer than that?

gollark: Actually, your URLs being infinite makes them incompatible with most webservers.

gollark: I own all URLs and images, because I wrote a program to iterate over all finite bytestrings a while ago and ran it on my supertask executor.
