The second set of elections to Kesteven County Council were held on Thursday, 3 March 1892. [1] Kesteven was one of three divisions of the historic county of Lincolnshire in England; it consisted of the ancient wapentakes (or hundreds) of Aswardhurn, Aveland, Beltisloe, Boothby Graffoe, Flaxwell, Langoe, Loveden, Ness, and Winnibriggs and Threo. [2] The Local Government Act 1888 established Kesteven as an administrative county, governed by a Council; [3] elections were held every three years from 1889, until it was abolished by the Local Government Act 1972, which established Lincolnshire County Council in its place.

[1] Nearly every candidate was returned unopposed, with contests in only eight divisions.
