The City of York is a unitary authority of the United Kingdom. There are many distinct localities, suburbs and villages within the administrative area of the City. All areas in the City are in the YO postcode area, also known as the ''York postcode area''.〔Royal Mail, ''Address Management Guide'', (2004)〕 ==Local government== York is an ancient English borough, and was one of the boroughs reformed by the Municipal Corporations Act 1835 to form a municipal borough. It gained the status of a county borough in 1889, under the Local Government Act 1888, and existed so until 1974, when, under the Local Government Act 1972, it became a non-metropolitan district in the county of North Yorkshire.〔 〕〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Gazetteer of British Place Names – Map of the local government areas of Britain ) 〕 As a result of 1990s UK local government reform, York gained unitary status and saw a substantial alteration in its borders, taking in parts of Selby and Harrogate districts, and about half the population of the Ryedale district. The new boundary was imposed after central Government had rejected the former city council's own proposal.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=The North Yorkshire (District of York) (Structural and Boundary Changes) Order 1995 ) 〕 The City of York Council has 47 councillors serving 22 wards.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Council Meetings – City of York Council ) 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Areas of the City of York」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
