Lincolnshire is a county in eastern England.
From 1888 onwards the county was divided into three parts, each with its own county council: the Parts of Lindsey, the Parts of Holland, and the Parts of Kesteven.

In 1996 Humberside was abolished; the part of Humberside south of the Humber was reconstituted as two unitary authorities, North Lincolnshire (including Scunthorpe) and North East Lincolnshire (including Grimsby) and these were allocated to Lincolnshire for ceremonial purposes. The remainder of the traditional county came under a new Lincolnshire County Council, with seven local government districts.
