Located in the north of England, Yorkshire is divided into 16 administrative authorities:

• East Yorkshire includes Kingston upon Hull (also known as Hull), and East Riding of Yorkshire (or simply East Yorkshire)
• North Yorkshire includes York and the area covered by North Yorkshire Council
• West Yorkshire includes Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield, Kirklees, and Calderdale
• South Yorkshire includes Sheffield, Doncaster, Barnsley, and Rotherham
• Redcar and Cleveland, Middlesbrough and Stockton-on-Tees are also part of the historic county of Yorkshire, despite the fact that they fall outside the current regional boundaries
