London Borough of Islington
The London Borough of Islington is a London borough in Inner London with an estimated population of 215,667.〔 2013 Mid Year Estimates ("UK Population Estimates" ). ONS. Retrieved 27 June 2014〕 It was formed in 1965 by merging the former metropolitan boroughs of Islington and Finsbury, but the merged entity remains the second smallest borough in London and the third smallest district in England. The borough contains two Westminster parliamentary constituencies, Islington North and Islington South & Finsbury. The local authority is Islington Council.
==Etymology==
Islington was originally named by the Saxons ''Giseldone'' (1005), then ''Gislandune'' (1062). The name means 'Gīsla's hill' from the Old English personal name Gīsla and ''dun'' 'hill', 'down'. The name then later mutated to ''Isledon'', which remained in use well into the 17th century when the modern form arose.〔('Islington: Growth', A History of the County of Middlesex: Volume 8: Islington and Stoke Newington parishes (1985), pp. 9-19 ) accessed: 13 March 2007〕 In medieval times, Islington was just one of many small manors in the area, along with ''Bernersbury'', ''Neweton Berewe'' or ''Hey-bury'', and ''Canonesbury'' (Barnsbury, Highbury and Canonbury - names first recorded in the 13th and 14th centuries). "Islington" came to be applied as the name for the parish covering these villages, and was the name chosen for the Metropolitan Borough of Islington, on its formation in 1899. On the merger with Finsbury, to form the modern borough this name came to be applied to the whole borough.
