Boston is a local government district with borough status in Lincolnshire, England. Its council is based in the town of Boston.
The borough was formed on April 1, 1974 by the merger of the former borough of Boston with Boston Rural District.
Until 1974, Lincolnshire comprised three parts, like the ridings of Yorkshire. In Lincolnshire, "parts" was the formal designation. They were Lindsey, Kesteven and Holland. In their final form, they were in effect each a county. The 1974 changes divided the Parts of Holland into two districts of which the Borough of Boston is the northern one.
