Pendle is a district borough of Lancashire, England, on the North Yorkshire and West Yorkshire borders. It adjoins the Lancashire boroughs of Burnley and Ribble Valley. It has a total population of about 90,000 people, and is represented in Parliament by Gordon Prentice (Labour). It was created in 1972 as a result of local government reorganisation from the former Municipal Boroughs of Nelson and Colne, the former urban districts of Barnoldswick, Barrowford, Brierfield, Earby and Trawden, and from parts of Burnley and Skipton Rural District Councils. It was named after the historical district of Pendle Forest. The area is closely associated with the Pendle Witches, and the landscape in the south of the borough is dominated by Pendle Hill.
