NORTH YORKSHIRE X
Hambleton was one of the seven now-abolished large district authorities which have been merged into a unitary authority of North Yorkshire.The Hambleton district covered around 506 square miles of the area now run by North Yorkshire Council, the unitary authority the Government has created from the former County Council which covers a massive area of around 3,085 square miles and more than 600 towns and villages.
The district was named after the Hambleton Hills in the North York Moors National Park, part of which is at the eastern edge of the area.
Much of the area is agricultural land in the Vale of York and Vale of Mowbray, but the wide area includes a number of towns and dozens of villages.
The administrative centre was Northallerton and this continues as Northallerton is also the county town of North Yorkshire.
The population of the area is over 91,000.
