Rushmoor is a local government district and borough in Hampshire, England. It covers the towns of Aldershot and Farnborough.
It was formed on 1 April 1974 by the merger of the borough of Aldershot and the Farnborough urban district.
The borough took its name from Rushmoor Arena, a military showground constructed at Rushmoor Bottom in 1923. In May 2000, a referendum was held to on whether to change the name of the borough. Two alternative names were suggested in place of Rushmoor: Aldershot and Farnborough or Farnborough and Aldershot. In the event, more than 81% of those who voted chose to retain the name, on a turnout of 29%.
Rushmoor's population has grown from 1,366 in 1801, through 39,616 in 1901 to over 90,000 in 2001.
For many years, Rushmoor has done well in the South and South East in Bloom awards and was a national finalist on three occasions, winning the "Best Small City" award in 1999.
Rushmoor is twinned with Oberursel in Germany, Meudon in France and Sulechów in Poland.

The desert rips our flesh
Our mouths dry
Our skin is cracked
Moisture is what we crave
The mirage of a city
Our only antagonist
As the heat bakes our skin
Nothing left
Vicious circle
Our bodies are dead
The sand gripped our knees
