Slough was, from 1863 to 1974, a local government district in southern Buckinghamshire, England. It became an urban district in 1894 and was incorporated as a municipal borough in 1938. It was abolished in 1974 and now forms part of the borough of Slough in Berkshire.
The Local Government Act 1858 was adopted in 1863 for town of Slough, that was partly in the parishes of Upton cum Chalvey and Stoke Poges, creating a local government district governed by Slough Local Board of Health.
Following the Local Government Act 1894, its area was reconstituted as an urban district consisting of the civil parishes of Slough and Stoke-in-Slough. The local authority became Slough Urban District Council. Slough absorbed Stoke-in-Slough in 1896. The remaining portions of Upton cum Chalvey and Stoke Poges became part of Eton Rural District.
The district was subject to a number of boundary changes, which incorporated territory from Eton Rural District.
In 1900 the urban district gained part of Langley Marish and more of the Upton cum Chalvey civil parishes.
