West Yorkshire is a metropolitan
county within the Yorkshire and the Humber region of England with a
population of 2.2 million. West Yorkshire came into existence as a
metropolitan county in 1974 after the passage of the Local
Government Act 1972.
West Yorkshire, which is landlocked, consists of five metropolitan
boroughs (City of Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, City of Leeds and
City of Wakefield) and shares borders with the counties of
Derbyshire (to the south), Greater Manchester (to the south-west),
Lancashire (to the north-west), North Yorkshire (to the north and
east) and South Yorkshire (to the south-east).
West Yorkshire County Council was abolished in 1986, and so its
districts (the metropolitan boroughs) are now effectively unitary
authorities. However, the metropolitan county, which covers an area
of 2,029 square kilometres (783 sq mi), continues to exist in law,
and as a geographic frame of reference.
