Northaw and Cuffley is a civil parish in the Welwyn Hatfield borough of Hertfordshire, England. Located approximately 13.5 miles (21.7 km) north of central London and adjacent to the Greater London boundary, it is a partly urbanised parish with large sections of open land. Northaw and Cuffley is a recent renaming of the ancient parish of Northaw, covering the settlements of Northaw and Cuffley. The local council is Northaw and Cuffley Parish Council.
Northaw was an ancient parish in the Cashio Hundred of the county of Hertfordshire. It formed part of the Hatfield Rural District from 1894, when the parish council was created.
The parish was within the Metropolitan Police District and was part of the review area of the Royal Commission on Local Government in Greater London, however it did not form part of the proposed Greater London area.
The Hatfield Rural District was abolished in 1974 and the parish become part of the Welwyn Hatfield district. The parish was renamed Northaw and Cuffley in 1982. In 1994 there was a change to the boundary with Greater London when some land was gained from the London Borough of Enfield and the boundary became aligned to the M25 motorway.
The parish was removed from the Metropolitan Police District in 2000. Following a successful petition by the district council, in 2005 Welwyn Hatfield became a borough and the district council became a borough council.
