Shropshire (abbreviated Salop or Shrops) is an English county in the West Midlands region of the United Kingdom.

Shropshire is one of England's most rural counties. The county town is Shrewsbury, although the new town of Telford is the largest town. Despite the county being so rural, the Ironbridge Gorge area of Shropshire is known as the birthplace of industry. The population of the non-metropolitan, or shire county, of Shropshire is 289,100 - making the county the least populated two-tier governed area in the United Kingdom

Under the recent Local Government White Paper, Shropshire County Council is expected to propose the abolition of Shropshire's district councils, becoming a unitary authority.
