	Administrative county - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An administrative county was an administrative area in the British Isles used for the purposes of local government.
		The term was introduced for England and Wales by the Local Government Act 1888, which created county councils for various areas, and called them 'administrative counties' to distinguish them from the continuing statutory counties (which would now be termed ceremonial counties).
		In England and Wales the legislation was repealed in 1974, and entities called 'metropolitan and non-metropolitan counties' in England and 'counties' in Wales were introduced in their place.
