History

Offerton was formerly a township in the parish of Stockport, [2] in 1866 Offerton became a separate civil parish. In 1875 Offerton was one of eight parishes in Cheshire to be included in the Stockport Rural Sanitary District. The sanitary district became the Stockport Rural District in 1894. On 30 September 1900 the parish was abolished to form Hazel Grove and Bramhall [3] and became part of the Hazel Grove and Bramhall urban district. In 1891 the parish had a population of 372. [4] Hazel Grove and Bramhall district was abolished in 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, and its former area was transferred to Greater Manchester to be combined with that of other districts to form the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport.
