County town

County Town:

The administrative headquarters for a county.

In the case of Yorkshire? in England, there are three county towns, one for each Riding?: Northallerton? for the [North Riding]?, Beverley? for the [East Riding]?, and Wakefield? for the [West Riding]?. Contrary to popular belief, there are no civil administrative offices for the county of Yorkshire as a whole (not even in York!).
