the following text is based on an article in Wikipedia

Tamworth was a rural district in the English Midlands from 1894 to 1965.

It was created under the Local Government Act 1894 from Tamworth Rural Sanitary District, and was one of a handful of rural districts to cross county boundaries, with part in Staffordshire and part in Warwickshire. It entirely surrounded the town of Tamworth.

The Staffordshire part was made part of Lichfield Rural District in 1934, under a County Review Order. The remainder, to the south and east of Tamworth, continued as a rural district in Warwickshire.

This latter area was abolished in 1965, with part (including the majority of the population) going to the borough of Tamworth, and the rest to Meriden Rural District and the Atherstone Rural District.
