===Governance history===
Up to the nineteenth century, Wood Green came under the governance of the Manor and Parish of Tottenham. Tottenham developed from a parish in Middlesex into an Urban sanitary district in 1875, after a local board of health had been established in 1850.<ref>{{cite vob|url=http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/relationships.jsp?u_id=10164527&c_id=10001043|map=http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/place/19|name=Tottenham parish|accessdate=10 February 2008|title=Archived copy|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120627103755/http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/relationships.jsp?u_id=10164527&c_id=10001043|archive-date=27 June 2012|url-status=live}}</ref>
