Cheshire County Council

Cheshire County Council was the county council of Cheshire. Founded on 1 April 1889, it was officially dissolved on 31 March 2009, when it and its districts were superseded by two unitary authorities: Cheshire West and Chester and Cheshire East. The county council provided county-level services, and there was also a lower tier of district councils, which was reformed on a number of occasions. From 1998 until the county council's abolition in 2009 there were six districts subordinate to the county council: Chester, Congleton, Crewe and Nantwich, Ellesmere Port and Neston, Macclesfield, and Vale Royal.
