Hyndburn, Administrative borough in Lancashire, England

Hyndburn encompasses 73 square kilometers between Blackburn and Burnley, with the Forest of Rossendale to the south and Ribble Valley to the north.

The district formed in 1974 through the merger of six local districts, taking its name from the River Hyndburn that flows through the territory.

The area maintains strong industrial heritage connections through preserved cotton mills, engineering facilities, and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal that crosses the region.

The district contains 47 educational institutions, including 36 primary schools and 6 secondary schools, serving a population of over 80,000 residents.

The district produced James Hargreaves, who revolutionized textile manufacturing by inventing the spinning jenny while living in the Stanhill area.
