South Crosland is a village in the metropolitan borough of Kirklees in West Yorkshire, England.
South Crosland was formerly a township and chapelry in the parish of Almondbury.[1] In 1866 South Crosland became a separate civil parish,[2] and it became an urban district in 1894 under the Local Government Act 1894. The parish and urban district was abolished under a County Review Order on 1 April 1938, being split between the county borough of Huddersfield, the Meltham urban district, and the Holmfirth Urban District.[3][4] In 1931 the parish had a population of 2985.[5]
