City of
Truro
The city of Truro,
in South West England, has a population of about 13,000. It was a municipal borough,
with city status (the only city in Cornwall), until 1974, when it was merged with
neighbouring localities to form the local government (non-metropolitan) district of Carrick, within
the county of Cornwall. In April 2009, the district of Carrick and all
other local government districts in Cornwall were abolished, and Cornwall became
a unitary authority.
