The hundred of Dacorum was first recorded in 1196, although it has existed since the 9th and 10th centuries, when it lay near the southern boundary of Danelaw, on the River Lea. Its name in Latin means "of the Danes". In the 11th century, the Domesday Book records that the hundreds of Tring and Danais [both too archaic to be described as members of the Hertfordshire hundreds] overlapped areas of the hundred of Dacorum.

A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Dacorum Hundred from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:

"DACORUM, a hundred in Herts; in detached pieces, contiguous to Middlesex and Bucks; and containing seventeen parishes and parts of four others. Acres: 75,027. Population in 1851: 36,249: in 1861: 38,081. Houses, 7,092."
