Counties Of The United Kingdom
The counties of the United Kingdom are subnational divisions of the United Kingdom, used for the purposes of administrative, geographical and political demarcation. The older term, ''shire'' is historically equivalent to county. By the Middle Ages, county had become established as the unit of local government, at least in England. By the early 17th century, all of England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland had been separated into counties. In Scotland, ''shire'' was the only term used until after the Act of Union 1707.

In other parts of the United Kingdom, especially within large metropolitan areas, they have been replaced with alternative unitary authorities, which are ...
