The parish includes Arlecdon, Frizington, Rowrah and Asby. It constituted an urban district from 1894.
In 1919 John Adams led a successful election challenge to the sitting members of Arlecdon and Frizington District Council. This established the first all-Labour council to be elected in England. Adams held the office of Chairman of the Arlecdon and Frizington Urban District Council from 1919 to 1923.[citation needed]
In 1934, it became part of Ennerdale Rural District, which was later subsumed in 1974 into Copeland Borough Council.
