Charlestown is an electoral division of Manchester City Council which has been represented since 1971. It covers the North Manchester suburb of Charlestown and parts of Blackley.

Overview

Charlestown ward was created in 1971,^[1] covering the northern portions of the Blackley and Moston wards. In 1982, the ward incorporated that part of the Crumpsall ward to the northeast of the River Irk.^[2] That area was returned to the Crumpsall ward after further city-wide boundary revision in 2004, which also made the ward's eastern boundary the Caldervale Line. The ward's boundaries were left largely unchanged at the latest revision in 2018.^[3]

From its creation until 2010, the ward formed part of the Manchester Blackley Parliamentary constituency.^[4] Between 2010 and 2024, it formed part of the Blackley and Broughton Parliamentary constituency. Since 2024, it has formed part of the Blackley and Middleton South Parliamentary constituency.
