On 20 September 1872, by order of the Local Government Board, the parishes of South Gosforth and Coxlodge were constituted an urban district. It was known as South Gosforth Local Board.

After the 1894 Local Government Act, it became South Gosforth U.D.C. The following year, by a Northumberland County Council order dated 14 March 1895, the title was changed again to Gosforth U.D.C.

On 15 July 1903 the District Council applied to Northumberland County Council for an order to extend its boundaries to include the parishes of North Gosforth, East Brunton, West Brunton, Fawdon and the greater part of Kenton. An enquiry was held into the Gosforth Scheme on 9 September 1903, but the proposal was refused.

By the County of Northumberland (Gosforth Wards) Order 1906, Gosforth was divided into four wards, namely Coxlodge, All Saints, St Nicholas and South Gosforth.

In 1908 the parishes of Coxlodge and South Gosforth were amalgamated into the parish of Gosforth.

Gosforth extended its boundaries, after the County of Northumberland Review Order 1935, to include part of Castle Ward Rural District. This comprised sections of East Brunton, Fawdon and North Gosforth civil parishes.

Gosforth U.D.C. was finally abolished on 1 April 1974, to become part of Newcastle Metropolitan Borough Council.
