Peterborough was a rural district adjoining the city and municipal borough of Peterborough from 1894 to 1974.
The rural district was created under the Local Government Act 1894, from the part of the Peterborough rural sanitary district that was in the administrative county of Soke of Peterborough (the rest, in Huntingdonshire, formed the Norman Cross Rural District).
In 1929 the City of Peterborough's boundaries were extended, with six of the rural district's parishes being absorbed.
In 1965 local government reorganisation abolished the Soke and the rural district was transferred to the new administrative county of Huntingdon and Peterborough. The rural district was abolished under the Local Government Act 1972, becoming part of the Peterborough district of the new non-metropolitan county of Cambridgeshire.
