Traditionally, Derby is the county town of Derbyshire, although Derbyshire's administrative centre has in recent years been Matlock. On 1 April 1997 Derby City Council became again an unitary authority, (a status it had held, as a County Borough, up to 1974), with the rest of Derbyshire administered from Matlock.
