From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
South Kesteven is a local government district in
Lincolnshire, England, forming part of the
traditional Kesteven
division of the county. It covers Grantham, Stamford, Bourne and Market
Deeping.
The district was formed on April 1, 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972,
from the municipal boroughs of Grantham and
Stamford, along with Bourne Urban district, South Kesteven Rural
District and West Kesteven Rural
District.
South Kesteven borders North Kesteven to the north, South Holland to the east,
the unitary authorities of Rutland and Peterborough to the south, and the
counties of Leicestershire and Northamptonshire to the west. It is
interesting to add that, since 1965, the border with Northamptonshire is Britain's smallest
border at only 10 meters.[1]
