Hertfordshire is an historic county of England. (For more information about the ancient counties of the UK, see the historic counties page and the place types page.)

From The Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales, (1870-72):

An inland county; bounded, on the NW, by Beds; on the N, by Cambridgeshire; on the E, by Essex; on the S, by Middlesex; on the SW, by Bucks.

Vantage-grounds in the S command charming views over Middlesex, to the hills of Surrey; and scenes around Ware, North Mimms, Watford, Berkhampstead, Hemel-Hempstead, and other places, are very beautiful.

The principal trade is in corn and malt; a chief employment of labouring females is straw-plaiting; and some manufacture is carried on in cotton, silk, wooleen, and paper.

County town: Hertford
Also known as Herts.
