 County borough - free-definition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-19)
County borough is a term introduced in 1889 in the United Kingdom to refer to a borough or a city independent of county administration.
County boroughs were abolished in 1974, and replaced with non-metropolitan districts and metropolitan districts, all in a two-tier structure with county councils.
This situation did not persist and many of the old county boroughs that were annexed, have now regained independence as unitary authorities - essentially the same as county boroughs, but renamed.

 County borough - InformationBlast
When the first county councils were created, it was decided that to let them have authority over the large towns in them would be impractical, and so any large incorporated place would have the right to be a county borough, an administrative county in its own right.
Initially, a town had to have a population of over 50,000 to apply for county borough status, but this threshold was raised to 75,000 in 1926.
In accordance with the review, in England and Wales they were abolished in 1974, and replaced with non-metropolitan districts and metropolitan districts, all in a two-tier structure with county councils.
