Brigg was an Urban District in Parts of Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England from 1894 to 1974.[1][2] It was created under the Local Government Act 1894.
It was enlarged in 1936 when parts of the civil parishes of Bigby and Wrawby were transferred to the district.
The district was abolished in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972 and combined with the Barton upon Humber Urban District and Glanford Brigg Rural District to form the new Glanford district in Humberside. Glanford was subsequently abolished in 1996 and replaced with the North Lincolnshire unitary authority.
