Craven - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The modern district came into being with the 1974 changes to British local government, as the merger of Skipton urban district, Settle Rural District and most of Skipton Rural District, all in the West Riding of Yorkshire. |
| | Craven, or Cravenshire has been used as a name for the area around Skipton for centuries, although the boundaries have differed. |
| | Occasionally Craven has included the local towns of Keighley (now part of the City of Bradford) and Barnoldswick (now administered as part of the Lancashire borough of Pendle). |
