Local government in the Isle of Man

Local government (Manx: gurneilys ynnydagh) in the Isle of Man was formerly based on six sheadings, which were divided into seventeen parishes (today referred to as "ancient parishes"). The island is today divided for local government purposes into town districts, village districts, parish districts, and "districts", as follows:

Four town districts: Douglas (borough), Castletown, Peel and Ramsey
Two "districts": Michael, Onchan
Two village districts: Port Erin and Port St Mary
Thirteen parish districts: Andreas, Arbory and Rushen, Ballaugh, Braddan, Bride, Garff, German, Jurby, Lezayre, Malew, Marown, Patrick, Santon
