Counties of England
England has been divided into counties for hundreds of years. The divisions originated as administrative areas, but have been adopted for geographic purposes.
Postal counties
The former postal counties as used by the Post Office are no longer required on addresses. They included most of the 1974 changes, but did not acknowledge Greater Manchester or Greater London as postal counties.
