The East Riding of Yorkshire is a local government district in the United Kingdom. It borders on the ceremonial counties of North Yorkshire (including the City of York), South Yorkshire and Lincolnshire (North Lincolnshire unitary), and surrounds the City of Kingston-upon-Hull (commonly known as Hull), which is a separate unitary district. For ceremonial purposes, the East Riding includes Hull. It covers part of the historic county of Yorkshire, and East Riding is also the name for one of the historic divisions of the county. Apart from Hull, the whole of the northern part of what was Humberside from 1974 to April 1, 1996 is now in the East Riding of Yorkshire, that is, the former districts of Beverley, East Yorkshire, and Holderness and the northern part of Boothferry. The eastern part is the plain of Holderness, the western the Yorkshire Wolds. The administrative headquarters is Beverley.
