There is a county for the purposes of lieutenancy called Shropshire, comprising the two unitary authority areas above, with similar (but not identical) boundaries to the county proper (from which it is also legally distinct). Both the council area and the county for the purposes of lieutenancy in which "Shropshire" features in the name contain small areas of Cheshire, Herefordshire and Staffordshire, whilst a small area of Shropshire (namely the village of Heath) is under Hereford Council.

Between the years 1888 and 1974, the council that covered Shropshire was known as Salop County Council. The Salop County Council name was also used by the post-1974 council, which eventually became Shropshire County Council, until 1980.
