Romford was a local government district in southwest Essex from 1851 to 1965 around the town of Romford.[2] It was significantly expanded in 1934 and gained the status of municipal borough in 1937. The population density of the district consistently increased during its existence[1] and its former area now corresponds to the northern part of the London Borough of Havering in Greater London.
