  Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rotherham is a metropolitan borough of South Yorkshire, England.
It is named for its main town, Rotherham.
The district was formed on April 1, 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, as a merger of the former county borough of Rotherham, with Maltby and Rawmarsh, Swinton and Wath upon Dearne urban districts along with Kiveton Park Rural District.

 Rotherham Town & Borough
Rotherham is a small town and large metropolitan borough in the County of South Yorkshire, England.
The town of Rotherham expanded rapidly after the founding of ironworks on the Masbrough side in the 1740s, and in the 19th century it became part of a industrial belt extending along the Don Valley from Sheffield to Mexborough.
Rotherham is not a pretty town, believe me. Except for a couple of very brief periods of its existence Rotherham has never been a rich town and moreover the town fathers have never sought to maintain its heritage, even to the present day.
