Northern Ireland
The county boroughs of Belfast and Londonderry were created by the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898.
In Northern Ireland, local government has not used county boroughs since 1973, but they remain in use for Lieutenancy.
For administrative purposes the two county boroughs in Northern Ireland were replaced with two larger districts (Belfast and Londonderry, subsequently renamed Derry).
