Local information: South Yorkshire, Yorkshire and the Humber

South Yorkshire is a metropolitan county in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of England, with a population of 1.29 million. It is landlocked, and lies on the east side of the Pennine mountain range. Although the county council was abolished in 1986, South Yorkshire remains a metropolitan and ceremonial county with a Lord Lieutenant of South Yorkshire and a High Sheriff.

The Sheffield Urban Area is the sixth most populous conurbation in England, and dominates the western half of South Yorkshire with over half of the county's population living within it. The Sheffield City Region encompasses South Yorkshire and parts of neighbouring Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

The main settlements of South Yorkshire grew up around the mining and steel industries. The rivers running off the Pennines supported the steel industry concentrated in the city of Sheffield. The proximity of the iron and coal also made this an ideal place for steel manufacture.
