The corporations had been reformed by legislation beginning in <a href="/wiki/Municipal_Corporations_Act_1835" title="Municipal Corporations Act 1835">1835</a> (<a href="/wiki/Municipal_Corporations_(Ireland)_Act_1840" title="Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Act 1840">1840</a> in <a href="/wiki/Ireland" title="Ireland">Ireland</a>). By the time of their abolition there were three types: <ul><li><a href="/wiki/County_borough" title="County borough">County boroughs</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Municipal_borough" title="Municipal borough">Municipal</a> or non-county boroughs</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Local_Government_Act_1958#Rural_boroughs" title="Local Government Act 1958">Rural boroughs</a></li></ul> Many of the older boroughs could trace their origin to medieval charters or were boroughs by prescription, with <a href="/wiki/Anglo-Saxons" title="Anglo-Saxons">Saxon</a> origins. Most of the boroughs created after 1835 were new industrial, resort or suburban towns that had grown up after the <a href="/wiki/Industrial_Revolution" title="Industrial Revolution">Industrial Revolution</a>. Borough corporations could also have the <a href="/wiki/City_status_in_the_United_Kingdom" title="City status in the United Kingdom">status of a city</a>. For pre-1974 boroughs, see <a href="/wiki/Municipal_Corporations_Act_1835" title="Municipal Corporations Act 1835">Municipal Corporations Act 1835</a>, <a href="/wiki/Boroughs_incorporated_in_England_and_Wales_1835%E2%80%931882" title="Boroughs incorporated in England and Wales 1835–1882">Boroughs incorporated in England and Wales 1835–1882</a>, <a href="/wiki/Unreformed_boroughs_in_England_and_Wales_1835%E2%80%931886" title="Unreformed boroughs in England and Wales 1835–1886">Unreformed boroughs in England and Wales 1835–1886</a>, <a href="/wiki/Boroughs_incorporated_in_England_and_Wales_1882%E2%80%931974" title="Boroughs incorporated in England and Wales 1882–1974">Boroughs incorporated in England and Wales 1882–1974</a>, <a href="/wiki/Municipal_Corporations_(Ireland)_Act_1840" title="Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Act 1840">Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Act 1840</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Modern_borough_status">Modern borough status</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Borough_status_in_the_United_Kingdom&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Modern borough status">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="England_and_Wales">England and Wales</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Borough_status_in_the_United_Kingdom&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: England and Wales">edit</a>]</div> Borough status no longer implies a town or urban area. Outside <a href="/wiki/Greater_London" title="Greater London">Greater London</a>, borough status is granted to <a href="/wiki/Metropolitan_borough" title="Metropolitan borough">metropolitan</a> and <a href="/wiki/Non-metropolitan_district" title="Non-metropolitan district">non-metropolitan districts</a> under the provisions of section 245 of the <a href="/wiki/Local_Government_Act_1972" title="Local Government Act 1972">Local Government Act 1972</a>. This section allows the council of a district to petition the monarch for a charter granting borough status. The resolution must have the support of at least two-thirds of the councillors. Having received the petition the monarch may, on the advice of the <a href="/wiki/Privy_Council" class="mw-redirect" title="Privy Council">Privy Council</a>, grant a charter whereupon: <ul><li>The district becomes a borough</li> <li>The district council becomes the borough council</li> <li>The chairman and vice-chairman become entitled to the style <a href="/wiki/Mayor" title="Mayor">mayor</a> and <a href="/wiki/Deputy_mayor" title="Deputy mayor">deputy mayor</a> of the borough, except in councils that have an elected mayor under the <a href="/wiki/Local_Government_Act_2000" title="Local Government Act 2000">Local Government Act 2000</a>.</li></ul> Charters granted under the 1972 Act may allow the borough council to appoint "local officers of dignity" previously appointed by an abolished borough corporation. Examples include: <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Recorder_(judge)" title="Recorder (judge)">Honorary recorder</a>: some borough and city councils have the right to appoint a circuit judge or recorder appointed under the <a href="/wiki/Courts_Act_1971" title="Courts Act 1971">Courts Act 1971</a> as honorary recorder. Usually this is the senior judge in the council's area.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/List_of_Shrievalties" class="mw-redirect" title="List of Shrievalties">Sheriff</a>: These are appointed in a number of boroughs and cities that were formerly <a href="/wiki/County_corporate" title="County corporate">counties corporate</a>.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/High_steward_(civic)" title="High steward (civic)">High steward</a>: originally a judicial office, often held by a <a href="/wiki/Peerage_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Peerage of the United Kingdom">peer</a>, now entirely ceremonial.</li></ul> There is no obligation on the council to appoint persons to these positions. In some boroughs the mayor has the additional title as "Admiral of the Port", recalling an historic jurisdiction. The lord mayors of Chester and Kingston-upon-Hull are admirals of the Dee and the Humber respectively, the <a href="/wiki/Mayor_of_Medway" title="Mayor of Medway">Mayor of Medway</a> is Admiral of the River Medway, and the mayors of Poole and Southampton are admirals of those ports.<a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a><a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a><a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a> Privileges or rights belonging to citizens or burgesses of a former borough can be transferred to the inhabitants of the new borough.[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] Borough councils are permitted to pass a resolution admitting "persons of distinction" and persons who have "rendered eminent service" to be an honorary freeman of the borough.
