Created in 1994, the region was defined as [[Northumberland]], [[Tyne and Wear]], [[County Durham]] and [[Cleveland (county)|Cleveland]]. A 1996 local-government reform created ceremonial counties and unitary authorities, allowing districts to govern outside their designated counties. The reform also abolished Cleveland with it split between County Durham and [[North Yorkshire]], the latter county covers parts of two regions since.

The region is mostly parished with some remaining unparished areas following the 1974 creation of the Cleveland districts, [[Borough of Darlington|Darlington]], Tyne and Wear districts, [[Derwentside]] and [[Wear Valley]].
