Hullshire (or the County of Hull) was a former district of England. The large county corporate was created in 1440 by Henry VI of England and centred on Kingston-upon-Hull. At times it included the riding's other two boroughs, Beverley and Hedon.
Hullshire was usually included as part of the East Riding of Yorkshire, despite not being administered as part of it. Its status was abolished in 1835 as part of the local government reforms, although the term was used occasionally into the twentieth century.
