With an area of 2,219km² it is the second largest English district, after the East Riding of Yorkshire. It is bigger than several English counties, including Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, and Hertfordshire. The current district was formed on April 1, 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, and was a merger of Hexham and Prudhoe urban districts, along with Bellingham Rural District, Haltwhistle Rural District and Hexham Rural District.
Tynedale was historically a liberty created alongside Hexhamshire by Henry I of England.
