Historic boundaries:
Areas historically part of Warwickshire include Coventry, Solihull, and
most of Birmingham. These became part of the metropolitan county of
West Midlands following local government re-organisation in 1974.
In 1986 the West Midlands County Council was abolished and Birmingham,
Coventry, and Solihull became effective unitary authorities, however
the West Midlands county name has not been altogether abolished, and
still exists for ceremonial purposes, and so these cities still remain
outside Warwickshire.
Some organisations, such as Warwickshire County Cricket Club, which is
based in Edgbaston, in Birmingham, still observe the historic county
boundaries.
Coventry is effectively in the centre of the Warwickshire area, and
still has strong ties with the county. Coventry and Warwickshire are
sometimes treated as a single area and share a single Chamber of
Commerce and BBC Local Radio Station (BBC Radio Coventry &
Warwickshire).
Coventry has been a part of Warwickshire for only some of its history.
In 1451 Coventry was separated from Warwickshire and made a county
corporate in its own right, called the County of the City of Coventry.
In 1842 the county of Coventry was abolished and Coventry was remerged
with Warwickshire. In recent times, there have been calls to formally
re-introduce Coventry into Warwickshire, although nothing has yet come
of this. The county's population would explode by almost a
third-of-a-million overnight should this occur, Coventry being the UK's
11th largest city.
The town of Tamworth was historically divided between Warwickshire and
Staffordshire, but since 1888 has been fully in Staffordshire.
In 1931, Warwickshire gained the town of Shipston-on-Stour from
Worcestershire and several villages, including Long Marston and
Welford-on-Avon, from Gloucestershire.
