History of local government in Yorkshire : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of local government in Yorkshire The history of local government in Yorkshire is unique and complex. Yorkshire is the largest historic English county〔Vision of Britain - (Yorkshire ancient county ) ((historic map ))〕 and consists of a diverse mix of urban and rural development with a heritage in agriculture, manufacturing, and mining.〔John Bartholomew, ''(Gazetteer of the British Isles )'', (1887)〕 After a long period of very little change, it has been subject to a number of significant reforms of local government structures in modern times, some of which were controversial.〔HMSO, ''Aspects of Britain: Local Government'', (1996)〕 The most significant of these was the Local Government Act 1972〔Arnold-Baker, C., ''Local Government Act 1972'', (1973)〕 and the 1990s UK local government reform. It currently corresponds to several counties and districts and is mostly contained within the Yorkshire and the Humber region. == Ancient divisions ==

Later the wapentakes were used as the basis for administration. In about 1823 the wapentakes were: Apart from these was the Ainsty wapentake to the west of the City of York.〔Vision of Britain - (Ainsty ) ((historic map ))〕
