St. Albans St. Michael's was an ancient parish. Part of the parish was within the Municipal Borough of St. Albans until 1894, when it was split to create St. Michael Urban Parish within the borough and St. Michael Rural Parish outside the town to the west. St. Michael Rural became part of St. Albans Rural District. Parts of St. Michael Rural were transferred into the borough of St. Albans in 1913 (138 acres) and in 1935 (890 acres). On 1 April 1974 (when district municipalities were introduced) the parish of St. Michael Rural was split with part going to the unparished area in Dacorum District and the remainder becoming the parish of St Michael in the City of St Albans District.
