Yorkshire (/ˈjɔːrkʃər, -ʃɪər/; abbreviated Yorks), formally known as the County of York, is a historic county of Northern England and the largest in the United Kingdom.[3] Due to its great size in comparison to other English counties, functions have been undertaken over time by its subdivisions, which have also been subject to periodic reform. Throughout these changes, Yorkshire has continued to be recognised as a geographical territory and cultural region.[4][5] The name is familiar and well understood across the United Kingdom and is in common use in the media and the military,[6] and also features in the titles of current areas of civil administration such as North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and East Riding of Yorkshire. Within the borders of the historic county of Yorkshire are areas which are widely considered to be among the greenest in England, due to the vast stretches of unspoilt countryside in the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors and to the open aspect of some of the major cities.[7][8] Yorkshire has sometimes been nicknamed "God's Own County" or "God's Own Country".[5][9][10] The emblem of Yorkshire is the White Rose of the English royal House of York, and the most commonly used flag representative of Yorkshire is the White Rose on a blue background,[11] which after nearly fifty years of use, was recognised by the Flag Institute on 29 July 2008.[12] Yorkshire Day, held annually on 1 August, is a celebration of the general culture of Yorkshire, ranging from its history to its own dialect.[13] Yorkshire is now divided between different official regions. Most of the county falls within Yorkshire and the Humber. The extreme northern part of the county, such as Great Ayton, Runswick Bay, Middlesbrough and Dalton-on-Tees, falls within North East England. Following boundary changes in 1974, small areas in the west of the historic county now form part of North West England. 約克郡（英語：Yorkshire）位於英格蘭東北部，曾分為3個瑞丁（Riding）：約克郡北瑞丁、約克郡東瑞丁、約克郡西瑞丁。《1972年地方政府法案》在1974年4月1日生效，原有的3個瑞丁被拆分為6個郡：北約克郡、南約克郡、西約克郡、亨伯賽德郡和克利夫蘭郡。現時約克郡的大部分土地由約克郡-亨伯管理，雖然已不再具有實際上的行政區劃意義，但是直到今日約克郡還是廣為人知的傳統地理名詞。 約克市雖然是約克郡的中心城市，但卻不是最大城市。該郡範圍內最大的城市是列斯。
