Epping Forest is a local government district of the county of Essex, England. It is named for Epping Forest, which the district contains a large part of. The council is based in Epping, a town roughly in the centre of the district. To the north-east there is the more rural town of Chipping Ongar and surrounding villages, whilst to the south urban London begins with the towns of Loughton, Chigwell and Buckhurst Hill. To the west is the Lea Valley with the town of Waltham Abbey.
The district was formed on April 1, 1974 by the merger of Chigwell Urban District, Epping Urban District and Waltham Holy Cross Urban District, along with most of Epping and Ongar Rural District.
As of 2004, the members of parliament for the district are Eleanor Laing (Conservative) for the Epping Forest constituency, whilst Eric Pickles (Conservative) sits for the Brentwood and Ongar constituency, covering the east of the district.
