West Yorkshire came into existence as a metropolitan county in 1974 after the passage of the Local Government Act 1972.Arnold-Baker, C., ''Local Government Act 1972'', (1973) West Yorkshire, which is landlocked, consists of five metropolitan boroughs (City of Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, City of Leeds and City of Wakefield) and shares borders with the counties of Derbyshire (to the south), Greater Manchester (to the south-west), Lancashire (to the north-west), North Yorkshire (to the north and east) and South Yorkshire (to the south-east). West Yorkshire County Council was abolished in 1986, and so its districts (the metropolitan boroughs) are now effectively unitary authority unitary authorities. However, the metropolitan county, which covers an area of {{convert 2029 km2 sqmi}}, continues to exist in law, and as a geographic frame of reference.[http://www.statistic s.gov.uk/downloads/ons_geography/Gazetteer_v3.pdf Office of National Statistics] – Gazetteer of the old and new geographies of the United Kingdom, p. 48.

West Yorkshire encompasses the West Yorkshire Urban Area, which is the most built-up and biggest urban area within the Historic counties of England historic county boundaries of Yorkshire.

File:Leeds Rathaus.jpg thumb left Leeds Town Hall West Yorkshire was formed as a metropolitan county in 1974, by the Local Government Act 1972, and corresponds roughly to the core of the Historic counties of England historic West Riding of Yorkshire West Riding of Yorkshire and the county boroughs of Bradford, Dewsbury, Halifax, Huddersfield, Leeds, and Wakefield. The Wakefield district's industrial heritage is significantly different from most of the rest of the county in that coal-mining was a large employer whilst textiles was not a particularly large industry (except in Ossett, where the two industries were both important). West Yorkshire Metropolitan County Council inherited the use of County Hall, Wakefield West Riding County Hall at Wakefield, opened in 1898, from the West Riding County Council in 1974. Since 1987 it has been the headquarters of Wakefield City Council. {{cite web url = http://www.wakefield.gov.uk/ CultureAndLeisure/HistoricWakefield/Highlights/Buildings/CountyHall/default.htm title = County Hall accessdate = author = Wakefield City Council date = 20 November 2004 }} The county initially had a two-tier structure of local government with a strategic-level county council and five districts providing most services.Redcliffe-Maud and Wood, B., ''English Local Government Reformed'', (1974) In 1986, throughout England the metropolitan county councils were abolished. The functions of the county council were devolved to the boroughs; joint-boards covering fire, police and public transport; and to other special joint arrangements.Kingdom, J., ''Local Government and Politics in Britain'', (1991) Organisations such as West Yorkshire Police West Yorkshire Police Authority and West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive continue to operate on this basis. Although the county council was abolished, West Yorkshire continues to form a metropolitan and non-metropolitan counties of England metropolitan and ceremonial counties of England ceremonial county with a Lord Lieutenant of West Yorkshire and a High Sheriff of West Yorkshire High Sheriff. The only ancient cathedral city in what is now West Yorkshire was Wakefield, however the industrial revolution, which changed West and South Yorkshire significantly, led to the growth of Leeds and Bradford, which became the area's two largest cities (Leeds being the largest in Yorkshire). Leeds was granted city status in 1893 and Bradford in 1897. The name of Leeds Town Hall reflects the fact that at its opening in 1858 Leeds was not yet a city, while Bradford renamed its Town Hall as City Hall in 1965.{{cite web url=http://ww w.bradford.gov.uk/leisure_and_culture/ho bbies_and_interests/history_of_city_hall.htm title=History of City Hall work=City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council accessdate=2009-01-17}} { class="wikitable" style="font-s ize:85%;border:0px;text-align:left;line-height:150%;" ! colspan="2" Local Government Act 1972 post-1974 ! colspan="4" Local Government Act 1888 pre-1974 - !

There is a close conjunction of large scale industry, urban areas and transport routes with open countryside. The dense network of roads, canals and railways and urban development, confined by valleys creates dramatic interplay of views between settlements and the surrounding hillsides. The carboniferous rocks of the Yorkshire coalfield further east have produced a rolling landscape with hills, escarpments and broad valleys. In this landscape there is widespread evidence of both current and former industrial activity. There are numerous derelict or converted mine buildings and recently landscaped former spoil heaps. The scenery is a mixture of built up areas, industrial land with some dereliction, and farmed open country. Ribbon developments along transport routes including canal, road and rail are prominent features of the area although some remnants of the pre industrial landscape and semi-natural vegetation still survive. However, many areas are affected by urban fringe pressures creating fragmented and downgraded landscapes and ever present are urban influences from major cities, smaller industrial towns and former mining villages. In the dolostone magnesian limestone belt to the east of the Leeds and Wakefield areas is an elevated ridge with smoothly rolling scenery, dissected by dry valleys. Here, there is a large number of country houses and estates with parkland, estate woodlands, plantations and game coverts. The rivers River Aire Aire and River Calder Calder drain the area, flowing from west to east.

Wakefield, Castleford, Pontefract and South and East Leeds were traditional coal mining areas. The woollen and cloth industries declined throughout the twentieth century, while mining in West Yorkshire declined through the late 1980s and 1990s, leaving only Kellingley Colliery and a few open cast mines today. Leeds has since attracted investment from financial institutions, to become a recognised financial centre, with many banks, building societies and insurance companies having offices in the city. Wakefield has also attracted many service based industries, inparticularly call centres. Two of the big four supermarkets are from West Yorkshire. Morrisons is based in Bradford, while Asda is based in Leeds. Transportthumb right Leeds Bradford International Airport West Yorkshire lies in arguably the most strategic part of Yorkshire: the M62 Motorway M62, M1 Motorway M1 and the A1(M) pass through the county, as well as the internal urban motorways in Leeds and Bradford. West Yorkshire has two mainline railway stations, Leeds railway station Leeds and Wakefield Westgate railway station Wakefield Westgate. Leeds railway station is the only Network Rail principal station in Yorkshire and North East England, and one of only three in the North of England along with Manchester Piccadilly station Manchester Piccadilly and Liverpool Lime Street railway station Liverpool Lime Street. Other important railway stations in West Yorkshire include Bradford Interchange, Bradford Forster Square railway station Bradford Forster Square, Huddersfield railway station Huddersfield, Halifax railway station Halifax, Dewsbury railway station Dewsbury, Keighley railway station Keighley and Shipley railway station Shipley. West Yorkshire also has Yorkshire's largest airport, Leeds Bradford International Airport. Unlike South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire has no light transit system; the Leeds Supertram was proposed, but was later cancelled after the withdrawal of government funding; the Leeds Trolleybus is the current proposed scheme. Public transport is run under the authority of the West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive (Metro).
