East Sussex is a county in South East England. It is bordered by the counties of Kent, Surrey and West Sussex and, to the south, by the English Channel.
The county town of East Sussex is Lewes. The county of Sussex was divided into an 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. The Mid Sussex region (including Burgess Hill and Haywards Heath) was transferred to the administrative county of West Sussex. In 1997, Brighton & Hove became a self administered unitary authority and was eventually granted city status in 2000.
