==Civil parish==
The parish included the villages of [[Bentley, South Yorkshire|Bentley]], [[Arksey]], [[Scawthorpe]], [[Shaftholme]] and [[Tilts]].

==Urban district==
On 1 April 1911 the civil parish was removed from the rural district and constituted a separate urban district. It was divided into five [[ward (politics)|wards]] for election of members of the urban district council.<ref name=1931census/> The council's headquarters were in Cooke Street, Bentley.<ref>{{London Gazette |issue=46144 |date=4 December 1973 |page=14166 }}</ref>

==Abolition==
From 1 April 1974 the [[Local Government Act 1972]] reorganised administrative areas throughout England and Wales. Bentley and Arksey was combined with ten other authorities to form the [[Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster]] in [[South Yorkshire]].<ref name=guide>{{cite book |title=Local government in England and Wales: A Guide to the New System |year=1974 |publisher=[[HMSO]] |location=London |isbn=0-11-750847-0 |page=20}}</ref> At the census of 2001 it had a population of 33,968.<ref>[http://www.statistics.gov.uk/statbase/Expodata/Spreadsheets/D8271.xls Office for National Statistics : ''Census 2001 : Urban Areas : Table KS01 : Usual Resident Population''] Retrieved 26 August 2009</ref> There are no civil parishes in the former urban district.
