At the 2011 Census, it had a population of 167,446. The administrative centre and largest settlement is Scunthorpe, and the borough also includes the towns of Brigg, Broughton, Haxey, Crowle, Epworth, Bottesford, Winterton, Kirton in Lindsey and Barton-upon-Humber. North Lincolnshire is part of the Yorkshire and the Humber region. The borough is mostly rural in character aside from near the town of Scunthorpe and near the Port of Immingham where most of the nearby villages and towns form part of the wider urban areas.

North Lincolnshire was formed following the abolition of Humberside County Council in 1996, when four unitary authorities replaced it, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire, on the south bank of the Humber Estuary, and the East Riding of Yorkshire and Kingston upon Hull on the north bank.

It is home to the Haxey Hood, a traditional event which takes place in Haxey on 6 January, a large football scrum where a leather tube (the "hood") is pushed to one of four pubs, where it remains until next year's game.

Location

[[Barton upon Humber]], one of the towns of North Lincolnshire and also near the [[Humber Bridge]] which connects the town and Lincolnshire to [[Hessle]] and [[Kingston upon Hull]] in the [[East Riding of Yorkshire]].

The 846 km2 council area lies on the south side of the Humber Estuary and consists mainly of agricultural land, including land on either side of the River Trent. It borders onto North East Lincolnshire, Lincolnshire, South Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire and the East Riding of Yorkshire. The council is based in Scunthorpe.

History of area

[[Haxey]], known for the [[Haxey Hood]] and the historic capital of the [[Isle of Axholme]] in Lincolnshire

The former districts of Glanford, Scunthorpe, and the southern part of Boothferry, were non-metropolitan districts of the county of Humberside from 1974 to 1996. Humberside was abolished that year and those three districts merged to form the new unitary authority area of North Lincolnshire, as part of an expanded Lincolnshire ceremonial county. The area had previously been within the Lincolnshire administrative county before 1974 as a collection of municipal boroughs, urban districts, and rural districts. The new district of North Lincolnshire was awarded borough status on 16 December 1996, allowing the chair of the council to take the title of mayor.
