history

Due to administrative reforms, the area and the name of this administrative unit have changed several times since the 1960s. In 1965 the previous counties of Cambridgeshire and Isle of Ely became the new county of Cambridgeshire and Isle of Ely . In 1974 the county of Huntingdon and Peterborough was incorporated, which in 1965 was itself merged into a joint county from Huntingdonshire with the Soke of Peterborough , a (then) part of Northamptonshire , and the new county was named 'Cambridgeshire'. Since 1998, City of Peterborough again an autonomous town district ( unitary authority ), but uses the public services of general interest such as police and fire departments of Cambridgeshire.
