Place:Ely Rural, Isle of Ely, England

NOTE: In 1889 Cambridgeshire was separated into two sections:

• the administrative county of Cambridgeshire and
• the administrative county of Isle of Ely.

The existence of two counties was to last until 1965 when they came back together as Cambridgeshire and Isle of Ely. But in 1974 the area, under a new type of administration, reverted to the name Cambridgeshire. For more discussion of this situation, see Isle of Ely, England. In keeping with the policies of WeRelate, all the places within the Isle of Ely during its existence include "Isle of Ely" in their placenames instead of "Cambridgeshire".

A process is built in so that the places can be redirected to the Isle of Ely if they are originally referred to as Cambridgeshire.

Ely Rural District was located in the Isle of Ely, England from 1894 to 1965 when like the rest of the administrative county it was transferred to the Cambridgeshire and Isle of Ely, England.

It was named after the cathedral city of Ely, and surrounded it to the west and north. The district was created in 1894 under the Local Government Act 1894 from the Ely rural sanitary district.

In 1974 the rural district was abolished, and its area made part of the new East Cambridgeshire District of Cambridgeshire.
