EspañolCOPELAND (BOROUGH)
(Redirected from Copeland, Cumbria)
:''for the constituency of the same name see Copeland (UK Parliament constituency)''
'Copeland' is a local government district and borough in western Cumbria, England. Its council is based in Whitehaven. It was formed on April 1, 1974 by the merger of the borough of Whitehaven, Ennerdale Rural District and Millom Rural District.
The name is derived from an alternate name for the Cumberland ward of Allerdale above Derwent, which covered roughly the same area.
Different explanations exist for the name. According to a document issued at the time of the borough's grant of arms, the name Copeland is derived from ''kaupland'' or ''bought land'', the area of the Forest having been bought from the estate of St Bees Priory.[1]
