In 1373, King Edward III granted Bristol county status – an honour it has held almost without interruption until the present day.
The looney left destroyed the charter in the mid 1970's and amalgamated Bristol into the new county of Avon for "demographic" purposes.

1373. Bristol is a City, unitary authority, and `ceremonial county`, having an appointed Lord - Lieutenant.

It became a unitary authority in the last big shake up, I think that was in 1998.
Other examples include Cardiff, Newport, Poole, Brighton & Hove and Medway Towns.

Do you mean a city?
Coz it sure as hell ain't a county - it's very much a part of the county of East Somerset (formerly Avon).
