The Hundreds of Gloucestershire, as with hundreds in other English counties, were the original geographic divisions of the county for administrative, military and judicial purposes. Each hundred covered a number of parishes. The introduction of civil registration in 1837 was accompanied by the creation of other groups of parishes such as Sanitary Districts and Poor Law Unions.
A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Botloe Hundred from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "BOTLOE, a hundred in the NW of Gloucester. It adjoins Worcester and Hereford; is 12 miles long, and 8 broad; and contains eight parishes and part of another. Acres: 26,811. Population: 7,204. Houses: 1,536."
