This is a list of legislation named for a place, typically the place in which it was passed. Medieval legislation was traditionally named, in particular, after the place where it was passed. (Medieval governments were itinerant or peripatetic before the end of the fourteenth century). Such were used to cite legislation in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. (The citation of legislation by session did not begin until the end of the fourteenth century; and citation by short titles authorised by statute did not begin until the 1840s.)
