Das County besteht aus den fünf Metropolitan Boroughs Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds und Wakefield. Es wurde im Zuge der Kommunalreform 1974 gebildet; 1986 wurde die Grafschaftsverwaltung jedoch abgeschafft. Seitdem sind die Metropolitan Boroughs de facto Unitary Authorities, obwohl West Yorkshire rechtlich gesehen weiterhin existiert und eine zeremonielle Grafschaft ist.
