The modern city of Salford dates from 1974 with the merging of five neighbouring communities. The former Municipal Boroughs of Eccles, Swinton and Pendlebury and the former Urban Districts of Irlam and Worsley came together with Salford to form the new city in 1974.
The Mayors listed prior to 1974 relate to the Municipal Borough of Salford only. You can see the pre 1974 Municipal Borough Mayors here.
