Herefordshire County Council was the county council of Herefordshire from 1 April 1889 to 31 March 1974.[1] It was based at the Shirehall in Hereford.[2]
It was created under the Local Government Act 1888 and took over many of the powers that had previously been exercised by the Hereford Quarter Sessions.[3]
The first elections to Herefordshire County Council took place on 17 January 1889.[4]
The first Chairman of the County Council was Andrew Rouse Boughton-Knight and the first clerk to the council was John Frederick Symonds.[5]
It was replaced in 1974 by Hereford and Worcester County Council.[6]
The coat of arms used by Herefordshire County Council (and subsequently adopted by Herefordshire Council) was not granted until 1946.[7]
