Tidworth was listed in the Domesday book as Todeorde, in the Andover Hundred, in "Hantscire". Tidworth used to be administratively divided into North Tidworth and South Tidworth, with the northern part of the town in Wiltshire and the southern part in Hampshire. When the boundary between the two counties was redrawn in 1992, the old distinction vanished and all the town became part of Wiltshire. The separate parts remained as two separate civil parishes until April 1, 2004. In recent years the population of Tidworth has increased in both the civilian and military quarters (Tidworth is home to the 1st Mechanized Brigade.The military mainly because many units are being relocated to Tidworth as the Army centralizes its forces around the major training areas of the country, due to both economic and practical purposes. The civilian population of Tidworth increases as people search for somewhere to live near Andover, Salisbury (and possibly Warminster) without having to pay the prices to purchase a house within the desired town. Its situation near the A303, and hence the M3, and the proximity of Andover and Salisbury Train Stations also make it attractive to commuters. More on Tidworth
