It was created on 5 September 1895 for the Conservative politician Sir Arthur Forwood, 1st Baronet, son of Thomas Friend Brittain Peploe Forwood of Thornton Manor, and brother of Sir William Bower Forwood and Ernest Harrison Forwood. He served as Parliamentary and Financial Secretary to the Admiralty from 1886 to 1892.
