The '''East Riding of Yorkshire''' is a [[unitary authority]] district in the ceremonial county of the [[East Riding of Yorkshire]] (which includes the city of [[Kingston upon Hull]], which is also its own unitary authority).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1997/23/schedule/1|title=Lieutenancies Act 1997|publisher=Legislation.gov.uk|accessdate=6 May 2022}}</ref> The unitary authority was formed in 1996 following the abolishment of [[Humberside]]. The district is governed by [[East Riding of Yorkshire Council]] at the [[County Hall, Beverley|County Hall]] in the town of [[Beverley, Yorkshire|Beverley]] which is also the [[county town]] of the county. The unitary authority covers most of the original [[wapentake]] of the former East Riding of Yorkshire. The district had a population of 343,201 according to a 2020-estimate making it one of the largest districts by area in both the [[Yorkshire and the Humber]] region and England.<ref name=":0">{{cite web |title=Profile of the East Riding |url=https://www.eastriding.gov.uk/council/local-area-facts-and-figures/profile-of-the-east-riding/ |access-date=29 April 2022 |website=www.east riding.gov.uk}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=29 April 2022 |title=How Hull and East Yorkshire is cementing its position as the UK’s “fastest-growing” digital region |language=en |work=Prolific North |url=https://www.prolificnorth.co.uk/news/hull-news/2022/04/how-hull-and-east-yorkshire-cementing-its-position-uks-fastest-growing |access-date=29 April 2022}}</ref> |

|||
== History == |
|||
The unitary authority was established after Humberside was abolished and covers a majority of the historic East Riding of Yorkshire (except for [[Filey]] which is now under North Yorkshire and Hull which is a separate unitary authority). The unitary authority has full control of all the local services and decision-making on housing, employment, commercial and other services for the East Riding of Yorkshire. The unitary authority has 167 civil parishes.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/doc/7000000000025635|title=East Riding of Yorkshire|publisher=[[Ordnance Survey]]|accessdate=6 May 2022}}</ref> |
|||
== Geography == |
|||
The unitary authority is landlocked by the counties of [[North Yorkshire]] and [[South Yorkshire]] to the north, northwest, west, and southwest. The county of [[Lincolnshire]] is directly south and southeast over the [[River Humber]] bordering the unitary authorities of [[North Lincolnshire]] and [[North East Lincolnshire]] (Which can only be reached via the Humber Bridge or A180 Road. It is directly south over the Humber.). The largest towns and villages in the district are Beverley, [[Cottingham, East Riding of Yorkshire|Cottingham]], [[Hessle]], [[Bridlington]], [[Goole]] and [[Driffield]]. The city of Hull is directly in the south-southeast part of the county and as mentioned is not under the district but is under the ceremonial county. |
|||
== Demographics == |
|||
The population of the unitary authority (Not including Hull) was taken at a mid-2019 estimate was 341,173. Of which, 98% were white and 2% were ethnic minorities. The religious composition of the unitary authority was 68% [[Christians]], 1.2% were of other religions and the remaining 29.8% were of no religion or did not state their religion.<ref name=":0" /> |
|||
== History == |
|||
The district was formed from the former districts of [[Boothferry (district)|Boothferry]] (Except for the [[Isle of Axholme]] and parts which form the modern-day [[North Lincolnshire]] in [[Lincolnshire]]), the borough of [[Beverley (borough)|Beverley]], [[East Yorkshire (district)|East Yorkshire]] and [[Holderness (borough)|Holderness]] from the former [[Humberside]] county in 1996.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1995/600/made|title=The Humberside (Structural Change) Order 1995|publisher=Legislation.gov.uk|accessdate=6 May 2022}}</ref> The district is quite unique in that it covers both the county (minus Hull) but also uses the exact same name of the county. |
|||
== Geography == |
|||
The district is bounded by [[North Yorkshire]] to the north, northwest and west. It borders the North Yorkshire districts of [[Ryedale]], [[Selby District|Selby]], [[Borough of Scarborough|Scarborough]], and [[City of York|York]]. It also borders the county of [[South Yorkshire]] at the point of the [[Dutch River]] near Goole and borders the [[Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster|Borough of Doncaster]] at the town of [[Thorne, South Yorkshire|Thorne]]. The district also borders the city of Hull in the southeastern extreme of the county of East Riding of Yorkshire with the towns of Beverley, [[Hedon]] and [[Hessle]] as well as the outlying villages of [[Cottingham, East Riding of Yorkshire|Cottingham]], [[Kirk Ella]], [[North Ferriby]], [[Swanland]] and [[Wawne]] forming urban area extensions of the city. <ref>{{cite web |title=Kingston upon Hull (Agglomeration, Agglomerations, United Kingdom) - Population Statistics, Charts, Map and Location |url=https://www.citypopulation.de/en/uk/agglo/E34004839A__kingston_upon_hull/ |access-date=29 April 2022 |website=www.citypopulation.de}}</ref> |
