Yorkshire is historically the largest county in England. Because of its size it was divided into the East Riding, West Riding, and North Riding, each of which had its own county council from 1889.

In 1974 and again in 1996 the local government areas were reorganised, and Yorkshire is now divided into:

• West Yorkshire (metropolitan county, comprising five boroughs)
• South Yorkshire (metropolitan county, comprising four boroughs)
• North Yorkshire (comprising seven districts, plus four unitary authorities including the City of York)
• East Riding of Yorkshire (unitary authority).
