Bradford
Jewish Community
City of Bradford The officially-named City of Bradford Metropolitan District, in
northern England,
has a population of nearly half a million. The present boundaries date from
1974, when the county borough of Bradford was merged with a number of other
localities from West Riding of Yorkshire (including the district of Ilkley) to
form the metropolitan district within the then new metropolitan county of West
Yorkshire. Bradford became a unitary authority in 1986 when West Yorkshire
lost its administrative status, becoming purely a ceremonial county.
