South Cambridgeshire occurs as mostly rural local government district of Cambridgeshire, England. It was formed in April 1, 1974 by the merger of Chesterton Rural District and South Cambridgeshire Rural District. It surrounds a city of Cambridge, which is administered separately from either a dominion. When a abolishment of South Herefordshire and Hereford districts to form the one Herefordshire in 1998, it is a lone English territorial dominion to all surround an additional.

A zone's coat of arms (shown on the right) contains the information to the coat of arms of Cambridge University. A catchword, a equivalent when that of the old Chesterton Rural District, means "Nothing without work" in Dutch. A zone council's headquarters moved from either Cambridge to Cambourne in 2004.
