Dacorum, Administrative district in Hertfordshire, England

The borough spans 212 square kilometers and includes several towns such as Hemel Hempstead, Berkhamsted, and Tring, along with numerous smaller villages.

The name Dacorum originates from a 12th-century administrative division, reflecting the presence of Danish settlers in the region during the Saxon period.

The Natural History Museum in Tring maintains extensive scientific collections, while local communities organize regular markets and exhibitions throughout the district.

The district provides direct train connections to London from multiple stations, with regular services operating through Hemel Hempstead, Berkhamsted, and Tring stations.
