Longdendale Urban District was established in 1936 and absorbed Mottram in Longdendale Urban District and other neighbouring urban districts and civil parishes. It was transferred into the Metropolitan Borough of Tameside in 1974.

Inside Tameside, the area is known as "Mottram in Longdendale" or, simply, "Mottram". This is probably to differentiate it from the Vale of Longdendale which is in Derbyshire.
