North Yorkshire is a Counties of England within the region of Yorkshire and the Humber in England. It is divided into the districts of Craven, Hambleton, Harrogate (district), Richmondshire, Ryedale, Scarborough (borough) and Selby (district).
Contained within its boundaries are the North York Moors National Park and most of the Yorkshire Dales, two of eleven areas of countryside within England and Wales to be officially designated as a List of national parks of England and Wales. The highest point of the county is Whernside, on the Cumbrian border, at 736m/2414ft.
The county was formed in 1974, and covers most of the lands of the traditional North Riding of Yorkshire, as well as the northern half of the West Riding of Yorkshire and the northern and eastern fringes of the traditional East Riding of Yorkshire. York became a unitary authority independent of North Yorkshire on April 1, 1996, and at the same time Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland and Stockton-on-Tees (borough) south of the river became part of North Yorkshire for ceremonial counties of England, having been part of Cleveland, England from 1974 to 1996, and the North Riding before.
The ceremonial county borders those of East Riding of Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cumbria and County Durham.
