A rotated L-shape, its area has been in the south and east firmly part of the urban growth of London.[4] It contained the parishes and settlements of Edmonton, Enfield, Monken Hadley, South Mimms and Tottenham.To the north then west it projected into Hertfordshire (containing South Mimms and Monken Hadley) which county had long borders with all of the parishes except for Tottenham.[4] In 1889, under the Local Government Act 1888, the area forming the small civil parish of Monken Hadley was transferred to Hertfordshire reflecting the growth of Barnet as a town.By 1894 whatever residual significance they had was replaced by a system of uniform local government districts, which were consolidated over time.
