MenuHarrow, Middlesex
Harrow is a large suburban town in Middlesex. The historic centre of Harrow was atop the 408 feet Harrow Hill. With the arrival of the Metropolitan Railway in the 19th century, the centre of Harrow moved to the hamlet of Greenhill and it grew as the unofficial "capital" of the Metroland suburbia in the early 20th century. The modern town of Harrow has been defined historically by the growth of the railways, as Harrow expanded and saw housing developments as a result of the building of the Metropolitan Railway into what had been rural areas. From 1934-1965, for local government purposes, the town formed the basis of Harrow urban district (a municipal borough from 1954). The town includes the following localities: Harrow on the Hill, Harrow Weald, Headstone, North Harrow, Kenton, Rayners Lane, South Harrow, Wealdstone and West Harrow. Harrow is within the council area of Harrow.
