Schools in Humberside
In local government terms it was abolished on 1 April 1996, with four unitary authorities being formed: North Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire, Kingston upon Hull and East Riding of Yorkshire.
As the name implies this county, covering over 1,300 square
miles and with a population of 860,000, is centred on the Humber
estuary.
It has it's administrative headquarters at Kingston upon Hull with
it's other major towns being those of Grimsby (named after the Viking
who founded the town), Scunthorpe, Goole and Cleethorpes.
It is yet another relatively new county with the northern part
previously being part of Yorkshire and the southern part being part
of Lincolnshire.
The river Humber dominates the county with the industries of petrochemical
production, oil refining and fish processing all directly profitting
from it. As with many other eastern English counties Humberside
also relies on root crops, cereals and cattle farming.
Famous people who were born within he boundaries of modern day
Humberside are Amy Johnson, the aviator, and John Wesley the founder
of the Wesleyan church.
