Wigan
Wigan was a county borough in Lancashire, lying to the northwest of Manchester. In 1974, it merged with adjoining areas (all of which had been in Lancashire) to form the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan within new Metropolitan County of Greater Manchester. Wigan became a unitary authority in 1986, when Greater Manchester lost its administrative status and became purely a ceremonial county.
