The name Lindsey is older than that of Lincolnshire itself; the Kingdom of Lindsey was a minor Anglian kingdom which was absorbed into the much larger kingdom of [[Northumbria]] around the 7th century. It was disputed between the kingdoms Northumbria and [[Mercia]] some time prior to the arrival of Danish settlers in the 8th century.

Between the years 1888 and 1974, the Parts of Lindsey lent its name to Lindsey County Council, which covered a similar (but not identical) area. Grimsby and Lincoln had their own county boroughs, independent of the council. From 1974 to 1996, the areas of Lindsey now administered by North and North East Lincolnshire were administered by [[Humberside County Council]].
