  • Wigan ist ein Verwaltungsbezirk mit dem Status eines Metropolitan Borough in der Grafschaft Greater Manchester in England. Verwaltungssitz ist die gleichnamige Stadt Wigan. Weitere bedeutende Orte im Bezirk sind Aspull, Astley, Billinge, Bryn, Golborne, Ince-in-Makerfield, Hindley, Leigh, Orrell, Shevington, Tyldesley und Whelley. Die Reorganisation der Grenzen und der Kompetenzen der lokalen Behörden führte 1974 zur Bildung des Metropolitan Borough. Fusioniert wurden dabei der Metropolitan Borough Wigan, der Municipal Borough Leigh, die Urban Districts Abram, Aspull, Atherton, Hindley, Ince-in-Makerfield, Orrell, Standish-with-Langtree und Tyldesley, Teile der Urban Districts Ashton-in-Makerfield, Billinge-and-Winstanley und Golborne sowie ein Teil des Rural District Wigan. Diese Gebietskörperschaften gehörten zuvor zur Grafschaft Lancashire. 1986 wurde Wigan faktisch eine Unitary Authority, als die Zentralregierung die übergeordnete Verwaltung der Grafschaft auflöste. Wigan blieb für zeremonielle Zwecke Teil von Greater Manchester, wie auch für einzelne übergeordnete Aufgaben wie Polizei, Feuerwehr und öffentlicher Verkehr.
