Salisbury is the only city in the district and its largest settlement. After the city, the next largest urban areas are Chippenham and Trowbridge.

History

Until 2009, Wiltshire had four districts – Kennet, North Wiltshire, Salisbury, and West Wiltshire – together with the Borough of Swindon which had been made a separate unitary authority in 1997. Proposals were made to abolish the four districts and form one unitary area to cover the county of Wiltshire, outside the Borough of Swindon. In April 2009, Wiltshire Council assumed the roles and responsibilities of the four former districts.
