Humberside was a non-metropolitan and ceremonial county in Northern England from 1 April 1974 until 1 April 1996. It was composed of land from either side of the Humber Estuary, created from portions of the East Riding of Yorkshire, West Riding of Yorkshire, and the northern part of Lindsey, Lincolnshire. The county council's headquarters was County Hall at Beverley, inherited from East Riding County Council. Its largest settlement and only city was Kingston upon Hull. Other notable towns included Goole, Beverley, Scunthorpe, Grimsby, Cleethorpes and Bridlington. The county stretched from Wold Newton in its northern tip to a different Wold Newton at its most southern point.

Humberside bordered North Yorkshire to the north and west, South Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire to the south-west, and Lincolnshire to the south. It faced east towards the North Sea.

Humberside was abolished on 1 April 1996, with four unitary authorities being formed: North Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire, Kingston upon Hull and East Riding of Yorkshire. The name has continued in use as a geographical term, mainly in the media, and in the names of institutions such as Humberside Police and Humberside Fire and Rescue Service. These institutions did not change their names mainly due to costs. There are proposals to merge the police force with other Yorkshire forces and then change all the forces' names accordingly.

Humber Enterprise Zone was launched in 2012 to encourage industrial development at 16 sites around the estuary.

Districts

The county was divided into nine non-metropolitan districts:

North Wolds (renamed East Yorkshire in 1981)
Holderness
Kingston upon Hull
Beverley (renamed East Yorkshire Borough of Beverley in 1981)
Boothferry
Scunthorpe
Glanford
Grimsby (renamed Great Grimsby in 1979)
Cleethorpes

[edit]

Abolition

Humberside was abolished in 1996. This resulted in four successor unitary authorities:

Kingston upon Hull
East Riding of Yorkshire: Beverley, and the East Yorkshire, Holderness, and northern Boothferry districts of Humberside.
North Lincolnshire: Glanford District, Scunthorpe District and southern Boothferry District
North East Lincolnshire: Great Grimsby, Cleethorpes District

There was some debate as to the fate of the Goole area which had been part of the West Riding prior to 1974). It was originally proposed that Goole should be incorporated in the Selby District of North Yorkshire but ultimately it was decided to associate it with the rest of North Humberside.
