History

Dunnerdale-with-Seathwaite was historically a township in the ancient parish of Kirkby Ireleth, which formed part of the Lonsdale Hundred of Lancashire.{{cite web |title=Dunnerdale with Seathwaite Township / Civil Parish |url=https://visionofbritain.org.uk/unit/10348316 |website=A Vision of Britain through Time |publisher=GB Historical GIS / University of Portsmouth |access-date=12 April 2025}} The township took on civil functions under the poor laws from the 17th century onwards.{{cite web |last1=Higginbotham |first1=Peter |title=Ulverston Workhouse |url=https://www.workhouses.org.uk/Ulverston/ |website=The Workhouse |access-date=12 April 2025}} As such, the township also became a civil parish in 1866, when the legal definition of 'parish' was changed to be the areas used for administering the poor laws.{{cite book |last1=Youngs |first1=Frederic |title=Guide to the Local Administrative Units of England: Volume II, Northern England |date=1991 |publisher=Royal Historical Society |location=London |isbn=0861931270 |page=xv}}

When elected parish and district councils were created under the Local Government Act 1894, Dunnerdale-with-Seathwaite was included in the Ulverston Rural District, which was renamed North Lonsdale Rural District in 1960. North Lonsdale Rural District was abolished in 1974, and Dunnerdale-with-Seathwaite became part of the South Lakeland district in the new county of Cumbria.{{cite legislation UK|type=si|si=The English Non-metropolitan Districts (Definition) Order 1972|year=1972|number=2039|accessdate=3 March 2023}}{{cite legislation UK|type=si|si=The English Non-metropolitan Districts (Names) Order 1973|year=1973|number=551|accessdate=3 March 2023}} In 1976, Dunnerdale-with-Seathwaite was placed under a grouped parish council covering the three parishes of Angerton, Dunnerdale-with-Seathwaite, and Broughton West. South Lakeland was abolished in 2023 when the new Westmorland and Furness Council was created, also taking over the functions of the abolished Cumbria County Council in the area.{{cite legislation UK|type=si|si=The Cumbria (Structural Changes) Order 2022|year=2022|number=331|access-date=24 January 2024}}
