North Lincolnshire
North Lincolnshire is a
unitary authority in
England, established in April 1996, one of the first unitary councils. It had previously been administered as part of
Humberside. The
85,000 ha council area lies on the south side of the
Humber estuary and consists mainly of agricultural land, including land on either side of the
River Trent. It borders onto
North East Lincolnshire,
Lincolnshire, and
North Yorkshire. For ceremonial purposes it is treated as part of
Lincolnshire, and is in the governmental region of
Yorkshire and the Humber.
There are three significant towns - Scunthorpe, the administrative centre, Barton-on-Humber, and Brigg.
