Trewidland historically formed part of the ancient parish of Liskeard, but lay outside the town's borough boundaries. The parish was split along the borough boundary in 1866 into two civil parishes: "Liskeard" covering the part of the old parish outside the borough, and "Liskeard Borough" for the borough. The rural Liskeard parish was renamed Dobwalls and Trewidland in 1974. In 2021, the Trewidland area was transferred into St Keyne parish, which was renamed "St Keyne and Trewidland".
