Aireborough
Aireborough was a local government district in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England, from 1937 to 1974. It was formed through the abolition of the urban districts of Guiseley, Yeadon and Rawdon and enlarged by the addition of parts of Otley urban district and parts of the civil parishes of Esholt, Hawksworth and Menston in the Wharfedale rural district on 1 April 1937. Aireborough Urban District was administered from Micklefield House in Rawdon, which had been acquired by Rawdon UDC in 1930. The district was abolished on 1 April 1974 when the metropolitan district of Leeds was established.
