Levenshulme, in the Parish of Manchester, was a separate township until 1865 when a Local Board was set up to administer the area of the old township. This became an Urban District Council in 1894 and in 1909 Levenshulme was incorporated in the City of Manchester. For Poor Law purposes, Levenshulme was in the Chorlton-upon-Medlock Union of Poor Law Guardians from 1837; in 1896 it was merged with other townships into the Township of South Manchester.
