From the Gazetteer for Scotland
In modern times the Stewartry District was formed by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, and became one of four local government districts in the Dumfries and Galloway Region which lasted from 1975 until 1996. In 1996 the district was abolished, with its area becoming part of the Dumfries and Galloway County Area, a unitary authority with an identical area to the region. Because of its large size the Council Area has established "committee areas" to provide for the local needs of its far-flung population. Stewartry is now one of these committee areas. [edit] Research TipsOnly the civil registrations for the period since 1975 will be found under the name Stewartry. It is unknown if the name was continued to be used for this purpose after 1996. |
