Taunton Deane was alocal government district withborough status inSomerset, England. Its council was based inTaunton.

The district was formed on 1 April 1974, under theLocal Government Act 1972, by a merger of theMunicipal Borough of Taunton,Wellington Urban District,Taunton Rural District, andWellington Rural District.

Taunton Deane was grantedborough status in 1975, perpetuating themayoralty of Taunton.[1]

The district was given the name of an alternative form of theTaunton Deane Hundred.

In September 2016,West Somerset and Taunton Deane councils agreed in principle to merge the districts into one (with one council) subject to consultation.[2] The new district would not be a unitary authority, with Somerset County Council still performing its functions.[3] In March 2018 both councils voted in favour of the merger and it came into effect on 1 April 2019, with the first elections to the new council in May 2019. The new district was known asSomerset West and Taunton.[4][5][6]
