At that time the ground was in the Essex Urban Borough of East Ham, which later became a County Borough of Essex (West Ham across the road was already a County Borough).

It was only in 1965 with the merger of the two County Boroughs and North Woolwich to form Newham, that the area became part of London.

[edit] Boleyn Ground/Upton Park

Not being funny but wouldn't it make more sense for this article to be called Upton Park? I only found the page as I was looking at a list of Premier League grounds and I wondered who played there. I was suprised to find out it was West Ham. KingStrato 17:31, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Pretty much the only time you here "Boleyn Ground" is when people explain that the place isn't officially called Upton Park. So far as everyday English is concerned, it is called Upton Park. Oliver Han 12:23, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

It should stay Boleyn Ground - It IS the Boleyn Ground at Upton Park, and as this is an encyclopedia so should use technically correct term and not the colloquial one. However, I do think there should be a redirect or a link if you search Upton Park.--Schmoozy 21:43, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Agree. It's perfectly easy to find via "Upton Park". 122.57.177.70 (talk) 02:47, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling Corrections
