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 Dudstone and Kings Barton Hundred from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "DUDSTONE AND KINGS-BARTON, a hundred in Gloucester; lying on the Severn, below Berkeley hundred; and cut into three divisions, lower, middle, and upper. Acres: 8,971, 10,923, and 20,699. Population of the whole: 20,442. Houses: 3,896."
The hundred contains the City of Gloucester and is represented by its ecclesiastical parishes in the list below.
A much more extensive description of the City of Gloucester will be found in the Victoria County History of Gloucestershire found in the website British History Online.
