Using the Historic Counties

As the Historic Counties have been used for centuries to describe where a place is located, they are ideal for using in addresses, projects, and when you tell people where you are from.

The Association of British Counties not only provides an argument for you to use the Historic Counties. A selection of useful resources are available to help you use the Historic Counties and find out more about them.
