Local GovernmentMost of Birmingham was traditionally a part of Warwickshire, though the modern city also includes parishes and towns formerly in Staffordshire and Worcestershire. The city became a county borough in 1889. It became a part of the West Midlands metropolitan county upon its creation in 1974. Since the West Midlands county council was abolished in 1986, it has been a unitary authority area.The city is governed by Birmingham City Council. Birmingham is nearly entirely unparished. Its only parish, New Frankley, was established in 2000 in an area transferrred from Bromsgrove in 1995 - it had previously been part of the Frankley parish.
