Hayes (from 1930, Hayes and Harlington) was a local government district in west Middlesex, England from 1904 to 1965.
The local government district was created in 1904 - originally as an urban district, Hayes Urban District - covering the Hayes parish transferred from Uxbridge Rural District. In 1930 the district acquired the parishes of Cranford and Harlington from the disbanded Staines Rural District. It was at this point that its name was changed to Hayes and Harlington Urban District.
Boundary changes in 1934 saw the abolition of the Cranford parish, part of its area going to the Municipal Borough of Heston and Isleworth (361 acres); the remainder becoming part of the Harlington parish (368 acres).
In 1965, under the London Government Act 1963, Hayes and Harlington Urban District was abolished, the area becoming part of the London Borough of Hillingdon in Greater London. The district's name survives, however, in both the Hayes and Harlington Parliamentary constituency and Hayes and Harlington railway station.
The coat of arms of Hayes and Harlington was granted in 1950. It was: Vert a pall couped at the base argent between in chief two wings conjoined in base of the last and in fess as many cog-wheels proper in front of two rays of lightning in saltire or. Crest : On a wreath of the colours issuant from a circlet of brushwood a demi-stag supporting a seax point upwards proper pommel and hilt or enfiled with a Saxon crown Gold.
