Urban District
*Watford Rural District (part within designated area of Hemel Hempstead New Town only)

The new district was named Dacorum after the medieval hundred, which had covered a similar area.

The district was granted borough status in 1984, allowing the chair of the council to take the title of mayor. Hemel Hempstead had maintained charter trustees from 1974 to 1984.
