Woodbridge Rural District
Woodbridge Rural District was a rural district within the administrative county of East Suffolk between 1894 and 1934. It was created out of the earlier Woodbridge rural sanitary district. It surrounded the town of Woodbridge, which had earlier been created as an urban district.
In 1934, under a County Review Order, Woodbridge Rural District was abolished and its parishes transferred to the new Deben Rural District.
