The district, which was formed in 1974, had a population of 137,799 in 2001.〔http://www.dacorum.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=3559〕 Its name was taken from the old hundred of Dacorum which covered approximately the same area. ==History== The hundred of Dacorum was first recorded in 1196, although it has existed since the 9th and 10th centuries, when it lay near the southern boundary of Danelaw, on the River Lea. Its name in Latin means "of the Danes".〔(History of the name ) at U3A Dacorum, a learning co-operative of older people.〕 In the 11th century, the Domesday Book records that the hundreds of Tring and Danais overlapped areas of the hundred of Dacorum. In 1974, the modern district of Dacorum was formed under the Local Government Act 1972. Major components were the municipal borough of Hemel Hempstead, the urban districts of Berkhamsted and Tring, the rural districts of Berkhamsted and Hemel Hempstead and those parts of the rural districts of St Albans and Watford which were within the designated area of Hemel Hempstead new town. The district was granted borough status in 1984. Hemel Hempstead had maintained Charter Trustees from 1974 to 1984. The amalgamation of the former local authorities was symbolised in the seven oak leaves which surround a tudor rose on the Dacorum coat of arms.〔http://www.dacorum.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=1525〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dacorum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
