The Isle of Man, a self-governing British Crown Dependency, in the Irish Sea has 17 historic parishes and was, until May 2016, divided into 24 districts for administrative purposes. These were 15 remaining parishes, 1 city, 3 towns and 5 villages, each forming the lowest unit of local government in the Isle of Man.[1]

In May 2016, the three districts of Laxey, Lonan and Maughold merged for administrative purposes to form the parish district of Garff. In 2020 the two parish districts of Arbory and Rushen merged for administrative purposes to form the parish district of Arbory and Rushen. The total number of administrative districts thus reduced to 21, made up of:

  • one city
  • three towns
  • two "districts" (Michael and Onchan, both of which are historically parishes)
  • two "village districts" (Port Erin and Port St Mary)
  • and 13 "parish districts" (including Garff, which is made up of two historical parishes: Lonan and Maughold).[2]
