Poplar was a local government district in the metropolitan area of London, England. It was formed as a district of the Metropolis in 1855 and became a metropolitan borough in the County of London in 1900. ==Formation and boundaries== The borough bordered the metropolitan boroughs of Hackney, Stepney, and Bethnal Green to the west and north, and the county of Essex to the east. To the south, the River Thames formed borders with the metropolitan boroughs of Bermondsey, Deptford and Greenwich. It was formed from three civil parishes: St Mary Stratford-le-Bow, St Leonard Bromley and All Saints Poplar. In 1907 these three were combined into a single civil parish called Poplar Borough, which was conterminous with the metropolitan borough.〔F. A. Youngs, ''Guide to the Local Administrative Units of England'', Vol.I, 1979〕 In 1965 the parish and borough were abolished, with their former area becoming part of the newly formed London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It included the districts of (from north to south): *Bow *Bromley St Leonard *Poplar *Blackwall *Isle of Dogs 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「Metropolitan Borough of Poplar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
