It was part of the historic county of Hampshire. A roundabout at the end of the Wessex Way called "County Gates" marks the divide between the historic counties of Hampshire and Dorset, and also marks the border between Poole and Bournemouth. For local government purposes, it was part of the non-metropolitan county of Dorset from 1974 to 1997. On April 1, 1997, Bournemouth became an independent unitary authority, though it remains part of the ceremonial county of Dorset.
