Reference

The suggested name for the borough encompassing Ilford and Redbridge was "London Borough of Redbridge." This name was officially adopted when the borough was formed in 1965 under the London Government Act 1963, replacing the former municipal boroughs of Ilford and Wanstead and Woodford Borough Council. The borough also took in parts of Dagenham and Chigwell. The name "Redbridge" is derived from the Redbridge area, which was a part of the Ilford Urban District. The borough's formation aimed to streamline local government in the area and better serve the residents. Here is a map of the London Borough of Redbridge for reference: .
