St Albans, Administrative district in Hertfordshire, England
St Albans is an administrative district in Hertfordshire, southeast England, encompassing both urban areas and protected green spaces. The district comprises several communities, ranging from busy town centers to quieter suburban and rural villages.
The district was created in 1974 by combining the former town of St Albans with Harpenden and surrounding rural areas into one administrative unit. This merger brought together several distinct communities under a single governance structure.
The area has performance venues, art galleries, and community centers where locals gather for concerts, exhibitions, and events throughout the year. These spaces reflect how residents here value creative expression and sharing experiences together.
The area is run by a council that manages public services, housing, and environmental care across all communities. Visitors and residents can contact local offices for information about facilities and services available in different parts of the district.
Two railway stations in the district connect to different London terminals via separate rail lines. This dual connection has historically provided locals with choice and flexibility in traveling to the capital.
