Place:West Hundred, Cornwall, England

From Wikipedia

"A hundred is a geographic division formerly used in England, Wales, South Australia and some parts of the United States, to divide a larger region into smaller administrative divisions; similar divisions were made in Denmark, Southern Schleswig, Sweden, Finland, Estonia and Norway."

In England hundreds were replaced by Registration Districts, Poor Law Unions and urban and rural sanitary districts between 1837 and 1850, and then by Rural and Urban Districts and Municipal Boroughs in 1895. In 1974 the districts and boroughs were abolished and today Cornwall is a unitary authority.

A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of the West Hundred from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72: "WEST, a hundred near the centre of Cornwall; containing 19 parishes. Acres: 93,058. Population in 1851: 18,362; in 1861: 19,678. Houses: 3,873." The map of the Hundreds of Cornwall is titled in English and Cornish. The Cornish language is still spoken today by a small proportion of Cornish residents. (Map source: Wikipedia)
