The River Irwell flows through the town and this position has proved important in its history and development. The market town was first mentioned as a parish in AD 962. From 1894 to 1974, Bury was a county borough. This meant that although 'within' Lancashire it was administratively independent.

With the passage of the Local Government Act 1972, Bury merged with the neighbouring municipal boroughs of Radcliffe and Prestwich, together with the urban districts of Whitefield, Tottington and Ramsbottom to become the Metropolitan Borough of Bury in 1974. This borough is part of the Metropolitan county of Greater Manchester.
