West Sussex is a
county in the south of
England, bordering onto
East Sussex (with
Brighton and Hove),
Hampshire and
Surrey. The county of
Sussex was divided into eastern and western administrative regions, with separate county councils in 1888 but it remained a single county until 1974 when the new counties of East Sussex and West Sussex were created and the
Mid Sussex region (including Haywards Heath and East Grinstead) was transferred from East Sussex.
