When the city of Houston was founded in 1836 and incorporated in 1837, its founders—John Kirby Allen and Augustus Chapman Allen—divided it into political geographic districts called "wards". The ward system, a precursor to today's City Council districts, was a common political tool of the early 19th century, and is still used in some American cities.

A virtual ward is a means providing support in the community to people with the most complex medical and social needs. The concept was developed in Croydon Primary Care Trust (South London) – and virtual wards have been introduced in Croydon, Dorset, Dudley, Brent, Hillingdon, Bracknell and Nottinghamshire.
