The borough was formed under the London Government Act 1963 in 1965 from the Municipal Borough of Finchley, Municipal Borough of Hendon and the Friern Barnet Urban District of Middlesex and the East Barnet Urban District and Barnet Urban District of Hertfordshire. The Act did not include a name for the new borough. A joint committee of the councils due to be amalgamated suggested "Northgate" or "Northern Heights".[3]Keith Joseph, the Minister of Housing and Local Government, eventually chose Barnet.[4] The place name Barnet is derived from the Old English bærnet meaning "Land cleared by burning".[5]
The name is first recorded in 1281 as la Hyde meaning the hide of land; the amount of land considered enough to support a family, around 120 acres (0.49 km2).[1]
