== Administration ==
As of 2024, much of the county is served by [[Durham County Council]], although that council not only excludes some of the most populous areas of the county, but contains some areas of northern Yorkshire as well.
The north east of the county is served by [[Gateshead Council]], [[South Tyneside Council]] and [[Sunderland City Council]]. Areas of the county close to the Tees estuary are under [[Hartlepool Borough Council]] and [[Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council]], the latter also containing a small area of Yorkshire. The southernmost part of the county around Darlington is covered by Darlington Borough Council.
