Leeds City Council was established as a unitary authority in 1986, after previously being a metropolitan borough council of the now-defunct metropolitan county of West Yorkshire County Council.
The council area has a population of around 822,500, which means it is, strictly speaking, the second-largest city in England after [[Birmingham]], since London is neither a single administrative unit, nor a single area with city status.
