It was created an urban district in 1920 from part of Dartford Rural District. It acquired an early 20th-century building that had been used by Vickers as a canteen and converted it into Crayford Town Hall in 1929.[1]
In 1965 it was abolished by the London Government Act 1963 and its former area was combined with that of other districts to form the London Borough of Bexley.[2]
