Prior to the establishment of Avon in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, the area that is now South Gloucestershire was part of the shire county of Gloucestershire.

As well as parts of suburban Bristol, South Gloucestershire (or South Glos as it’s often abbreviated) also covers many towns, villages and hamlets including Thornbury, Iron Acton, Severn Beach, Tytherington, Warmley and Almondsbury. Since the 2010 general election, the county has consisted of three constituencies: Thornbury and Yate, Filton and Bradley Stoke; Kingswood.
