the following text is based on an article in Wikipedia

Barrow upon Soar Rural District existed in Leicestershire, England from 1894 to 1974. It was established under the Local Government Act 1894 as a successor to the Barrow Rural Sanitary District, and therefore was also based on the Barrow Poor Law Union.

It covered the parish of Barrow upon Soar and the surrounding area. It was increased by the disbanding of Loughborough Rural District in 1936, and also by the abolition of Quorndon Urban District and Thurmaston Urban District the previous year. Barrow upon Soar Rural District was abolished under the Local Government Act 1972 and now forms part of the Charnwood District.
