County of Cleveland
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Cleveland (county).
Abolition
The Cleveland (Further Provision) Order 1995 abolished the county of Cleveland altogether, also from 1 April 1996, creating in its place four counties corresponding to the four boroughs. However, the requirement for counties to have a council was removed for these four counties in particular. Further regulations placed each district within the ceremonial county of Durham or North Yorkshire, also splitting Stockton-on-Tees along the Tees.
