Carlisle, Former administrative district in Cumbria, England.
The district extended across northern Cumbria, containing both urban settlements and rural areas between the Solway Firth and the Pennine mountains.
The district emerged through the Local Government Act of 1972, combining multiple local authorities into a single administrative unit on April 1, 1974.
The territory included numerous archaeological sites from Roman times, including sections of Hadrian's Wall and military settlements across the region.
The district council operated from Carlisle city, managing public services and local governance until its dissolution into the new Cumberland Council.
The former district contained England's most northern city and maintained strong connections with both Scottish and English communities across the border region.
