Greater Manchester was created in 1974 and encompasses one of the UK's largest metropolitan areas.

The county comprises mostly urban areas, although small pockets of rural and semi-rural areas exist around the ten metropolitan boroughs of the county, which include Manchester City, Salford, Trafford, Rochdale, Oldham, Bolton, Bury, Wigan, Stockport and Tameside. Greater Manchester is also considered a ceremonial county, and adjoins other ceremonial counties on its landlocked borders, including Derbyshire, Cheshire, Lancashire, West Yorkshire and Merseyside.
