East Yorkshire was a local government District in England from April 1 , 1974 to April 1 , 1996 , in the administrative county of Humberside . It covered part of the eastern area in the historic county of Yorkshire , but not the entire East Riding. The district was created as '''North Wolds''', but renamed itself later.

The district was a merger of the borough of Bridlington , Driffield Urban District , Driffield Rural District , Pocklington Rural District and part of Bridlington Rural District .

It was abolished in 1996 and merged into the new East Riding Of Yorkshire local government district, which covers a much larger area.
