CHESTERTON, CAMBRIDGESHIRE

'Chesterton' is a suburb in the northeast corner of Cambridge, England.
It is also the name of two electoral wards (West Chesterton and East Chesterton) in the city. These are roughly the same as the area normally called Chesterton: specifically the land North of the River Cam, east of Castle Hill and south of the Arbury and Kings Hedges estates.
A large council estate makes up part of the East Chesterton area.
A local board of health (urban sanitary district) was formed for Chesterton in 1880, becoming Chesterton urban district under the Local Government Act 1894. This was abolished in 1912, with the urban area becoming part of the municipal borough of Cambridge, and the larger but less populous rural part forming part of the Milton parish.
