The administrative division of the East Riding of Yorkshire originated in antiquity. Unlike most counties in Great Britain, which were divided anciently into [[Hundred (country subdivision)|hundreds]], Yorkshire was divided first into three [[Riding (division)|riding]]s and then into numerous [[wapentake]]s within each riding.<ref>

In 1889 under the [[Local Government Act 1888]], administrative counties were formed on the existing historic county boundaries in England, but in Yorkshire, given the vast size of the county area, three administrative [[county council]]s were created, based on the historic boundaries of the three Ridings. A county council for the East Riding of Yorkshire (the [[East Riding County Council]]) was set up in 1889, covering an [[administrative county]] local government area centred on [[Beverley]] and which had the same boundaries as the historic riding. It also acted as the [[ceremonial counties of England|ceremonial county]] (Lieutenancy) area established for the area. At the same date a separate [[county borough]] of [[Kingston upon Hull]], was created. The [[East Riding County Council]] and the [[county borough]] of Kingston upon Hull remained in place for eighty-six years until being removed for new administrative tiers of local government.{{citation needed|date=March 2023}}

In 1974 under the [[Local Government Act 1972]], the historic established Lieutenancy and the local government administrative county were disbanded, being replaced by the newly created [[Humberside]] County Council which included most of the East Riding and additional parts of the West Riding and parts of Lincolnshire. The creation of this cross-Humber authority was unpopular on both banks of the Humber. Due to this local unpopularity with the new county council name, two of the nine districts formed in the [[Local Government Act 1972|1972 Act]] included East Yorkshire in their titles, though they only covered a fraction of the geographical East Yorkshire area ([[East Yorkshire (district)|East Yorkshire district]], [[East Yorkshire Borough of Beverley Council elections|East Yorkshire Borough of Beverley]]). Continued disquiet culminated in a number of [[1990s UK local government reform|local government reviews]] in the 1980s and 1990s. Twenty-two years after being set up, Humberside County Council was abolished on 1 April 1996. The area north of the [[Humber Estuary]] (i.e. the city of Hull, whose boundaries would remain unchanged, the former districts of [[East Yorkshire (district)|East Yorkshire]], [[Beverley (borough)|Beverley]], and [[Holderness (borough)|Holderness]], and the northern part of the former [[Boothferry (district)|Boothferry]] district, including the Goole area) formed two [[unitary authority|unitary authorities]].<ref>

The ceremonial county, the area in which the [[Lord Lieutenant of the East Riding of Yorkshire]] represents [[the Crown]], was re-established the same day, covering the City of [[Kingston upon Hull]] as well as the [[East Riding of Yorkshire Council]] area as did predecessor authorities.<ref>

The East Riding of Yorkshire is entirely [[civil parishes in England|parished]]; the City of Hull has no parishes. From 1996 Beverley had Charter Trustees to maintain the charter of the [[Beverley (borough)|borough of Beverley]]: these were replaced by a Beverley Town Council in 1999, and Bridlington was parished in 1999. The unparished area consisting of the urban district of [[Haltemprice]] was divided into various parishes in 1999 and 2000.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eastriding.gov.uk/corp-docs/researchgroup/Reports/Parish_Map.pdf |title=East Riding Parishes Map |year=2007 |publisher=East Riding of Yorkshire Council |access-date=22 October 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110609181558/http://www.eastriding.gov.uk/corp-docs/researchgroup/Reports/Parish_Map.pdf |archive-date=9 June 2011 }}</ref>
