North Yorkshire is a ceremonial county in Northern England. The same name is also used for a unitary authority within the ceremonial county, but the two areas have different boundaries. North Yorkshire was created in 1974 as a two-tier non-metropolitan county with eight districts. The area governed by the county council was reduced in 1996, when the City of York district became a unitary authority. In the same year the neighbouring county of Cleveland was abolished and its boroughs south of the River Tees became part of North Yorkshire, but were also governed separately as unitary authorities. In April 2023 North Yorkshire County Council itself became a unitary authority and its seven districts were abolished, meaning the ceremonial county is now governed by five unitary authorities: North Yorkshire, the City of York, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland, and the southern part of Stockton-on-Tees. Most of the county is in the Yorkshire and the Humber region, with the parts formerly in Cleveland in North East England. More information...
