Humberside County Council is a former council area (or "administrative county") in northern and eastern England. It covered south-eastern Yorkshire, including most of the East Riding and a small part of the West Riding, and the northern part of Lindsey in Lincolnshire (however, none of the counties or their subdivisions were abolished by its creation). Established by the Local Government Act 1972, it existed between April 1 1974 and the same date in 1996. The council had its admin HQ at Beverley in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
The northernmost point of the area covered by the council was Wold Newton in Yorkshire, with the southernmost point being a village of the same name in Lincolnshire.
The council name was unpopular, as many inhabitants of the council area had strong ties to their respective counties proper. This was especially the case in northern parts of the East Riding of Yorkshire, where locals had little affinity with the distant northern Lincolnshire. Following the abolition of the council area, administrative functions were transferred to four council areas; northern Lindsey was split between North Lincolnshire Council and North East Lincolnshire Council, with the Yorkshire part of the council area being administered by East Riding of Yorkshire Council (which has different boundaries from the East Riding proper) and Hull City Council.
