It borders on Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Derbyshire, North Yorkshire and South Yorkshire. It is composed of the districts of Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds, and Wakefield. Its county council was abolished in 1986 making its metropolitan boroughs de facto unitary authorities, although the county still exists in law and ceremonially.
