In 1974, most of the county reunified with West Suffolk and the county borough of Ipswich to form the non-metropolitan countyofSuffolk.[2]
From 1894 the administrative county was divided into municipal boroughs, urban districts and rural districts:[3]
The rural districts were further subdivided into civil parishes.
On 1 April 2019 a new East Suffolk district was created by the abolition and merger of Waveney and Suffolk Coastal districts. The new district, covers a smaller area than the pre-1974 East Suffolk county council.[4]
