Turton Urban District
Turton was a village and area of Lancashire, England. The village historically known as Turton is now known as Chapeltown.〔 A large area including the village formed the township of Turton in the ancient parish of Bolton le Moors. In 1866 the township became a civil parish. In 1894 the civil parish became Turton Urban District, and the urban district was greatly enlarged in 1898 by the addition of several more parishes.〔 The urban district was abolished in 1974, and its former area is now divided between two local authorities. North Turton is part of the Borough of Blackburn with Darwen, and South Turton is part of the Metropolitan Borough of Bolton. Although no longer used as an administrative area, Turton is still used as an historical area.
==Etymology==
Turton means "Thor/Þor's village", from the Old Norse personal name ''Thor/Þor'' and Old English ''tun'' "farm, village". It was recorded as Thirtun in 1185〔Billington, W.D. (1982). ''From Affetside to Yarrow : Bolton place names and their history'', Ross Anderson Publications (ISBN 0-86360-003-4).〕 and variously recorded as Turton in 1212, Thurton in 1277 and Terton alias Torton in 1282.
The Scandinavian etymology would seem to fit, considering that there are other place-names in the area of this origin.
