North Riding of Yorkshire
The
North Riding of Yorkshire
is one of the three historic subdivisions (
ridings
) of the
English
county
of
Yorkshire
, alongside the
East
and
West
Ridings
. From the
Restoration
it was used as a
Lieutenancy area
. The three ridings were treated as three counties for many purposes, such as having separate
Quarter Sessions
. An administrative county was created with a
county council
in 1889 under the
Local Government Act 1888
on the historic boundaries. In 1974 both the administrative county and the Lieutenancy of the North Riding of Yorkshire were abolished, being succeeded in most of the Riding by the new
non-metropolitan county
of
North Yorkshire
.
