Prior to the 2023 governance reform, it comprised the local service district of the parish of Havelock,[3] which further included the western part of the service area of Havelock Inside.[lower-alpha 1] The local service district was a member of Kings Regional Service Commission (RSC8).[4]
The parish was named in honour of Henry Havelock, commander of British forces at the Siege of Lucknow in 1857, who died shortly after the siege was lifted.[5]
Havelock was erected in 1859 from the eastern polling district of Studholm Parish.[6]
In 1871 part of Havelock along Windgap Brook was returned to Studholm.[7]
