In England, a division refers to the electoral district used for elections to a county council, with ward the usual term used for other authorities.
Some of the hundreds and wapentakes in England (of the historic counties of England) were divided into divisions. Also a number of the Wards of the City of London are, or were, divided into two divisions.
