Chester was a non-metropolitan local government district of Cheshire, England, from 1974 to 2009. It had the status of a city and a borough, and the local authority was called Chester City Council.
Apart from Chester itself, which was the principal settlement, the district covered a large rural area. Other settlements included Malpas and Tarvin.
