North Yorkshire is a non-metropolitan
or shire county, located in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of
England, and a ceremonial county in that region and also partly in
North East England. Created in 1974 by the Local Government Act 1972
it covers an area of 8,654 km˛, making it the largest county in
England.
The area under the control of the county council, or shire county,
is divided into a number of local government districts; they are
Craven, Hambleton, Harrogate, Richmondshire, Ryedale, Scarborough
and Selby.
The Department for Communities and Local Government did consider
reorganising North Yorkshire County Council's administrative
structure by abolishing the seven district councils and the county
council to create a North Yorkshire unitary authority. The changes
were planned to be implemented no later than 1 April 2009. This was
rejected on 25 July 2007 so the County Council and District Council
structure will remain.
York, Middlesbrough and Redcar and Cleveland are unitary authority
boroughs which form part of the ceremonial county for various
functions such as the Lord Lieutenant of North Yorkshire, but do not
come under county council control. Uniquely for a district in
England, Stockton-on-Tees is split between North Yorkshire and
County Durham for this purpose. Middlesbrough, Stockton-on-Tees and
Redcar and Cleveland boroughs form part of the North East England
region.
The area including the unitary authorities, or ceremonial county,
borders East Riding of Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire,
Lancashire, Cumbria and County Durham.
