The County of London was a county of England from 1889 to 1965, corresponding to the area today known as Inner London. It was created as part of the general introduction of elected county government in England, by way of the Local Government Act 1888. The Act created an administrative County of London, which included within its territory the City of London. However, the City of London and the County of London formed separate counties for "non-administrative" purposes. The local authority for the county was the London County Council (LCC), who performed initially only a limited range of functions, but gained further powers during their 76 year existence. The LCC provided very few services within the City of London, with the ancient Corporation monopolising local governance there.^[1] In 1900 a reform of the local government in the county replaced the lower-tier civil parishes and district boards with 28 new metropolitan boroughs. The territory of the county was in 1961. During its existence there was a long-term decline in population through extra-territorial suburban growth; with periodic reviews of the local government structures in the greater London area and several failed attempts to expand the boundaries of the county. In 1965, the London Government Act 1963 was enacted and the county was replaced by the much larger Greater London administrative area.
