Seisdon was created during the eighteenth century, a rural village in the county of Staffordshire approximately six miles west of Wolverhampton. Almost all of its residents were employed in the agricultural industry, but in more recent years Seisdon has become a desirable area in which well-paid commuters have lived. A large percentage of the houses in Seisdon are now valued in excess of £300,000, approximately twice the national average.
The Rural District Council of Seisdon was created in 1894. It also consisted of other villages within a radius of several miles which surrounded Seisdon. These villages includes Kinver, Wombourne (officially the largest village in England), Codsall, Trysull and Pattingham. In 1966, the village of Gospel End was transferred into Seisdon having previously been part of Sedgley.
Seisdon Rural District Council survived until 1974 when it became South Staffordshire District Council, an authority which still exists today.
