This article is about the local government district in England formed in 1996. For the individual settlement and former district, see York. For other uses, see City of York (disambiguation).
York's first citizen and civic head is the Lord Mayor, who is the chairman of the City of York Council. The appointment is made by the city council each year in May, at the same time as appointing the Sheriff, the city's other civic head. The offices of Lord Mayor and Sheriff are purely ceremonial. The Lord Mayor carries out civic and ceremonial duties in addition to chairing full council meetings.[10] The incumbent Lord Mayor since 26 May 2022 is Councillor David Carr, and the Sheriff is Suzie Mercer.[11]
The district was formed on 1 April 1996 from the previous non-metropolitan district of York and the parishes of Hessay, Nether Poppleton, Rufforth and Upper Poppleton from Harrogate district, the parishes of Clifton Without, Earswick, Haxby, Heworth Without, Holtby, Huntington, Murton, New Earswick, Osbaldwick, Rawcliffe, Skelton, Stockton-on-the-Forest, Strensall, Towthorpe and Wigginton from Ryedale district, and the parishes of Acaster Malbis, Askham Bryan, Askham Richard, Bishopthorpe, Copmanthorpe, Deighton, Dunnington, Elvington, Fulford, Heslington, Kexby, Naburn and Wheldrake from Selby district. The previous district was in the non-metropolitan county (administrative county) of North Yorkshire and the new district became a separate non-metropolitan county, while remaining part of the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire.[16] The previous district itself had been reconstituted in 1974 from the county borough with the same boundaries.[17]
