Overview The term "shires of England" refers to the historic counties that have shaped the nation’s geography, government, and identity for over a thousand years. Originally Anglo-Saxon administrative districts centered around a fortified town (the "shire town"), these regions—like Yorkshire, Lancashire, and Essex—remain deeply embedded in English culture, even after modern local government reforms.
