((ex|Each hundred had a 'fyrd', which acted as the local defence force and a court which was responsible for the maintenance of the frankpledge system.[1] They also formed a unit for the collection of taxes.[2] The role of the hundred court was described in the Dooms (laws) of King Edgar. The name of the hundred was normally that of its meeting-place.[3] The importance of the hundred courts declined from the seventeenth century. By the 19th century several different single-purpose subdivisions of counties, such as poor law unions, sanitary districts, and highway districts sprang up, filling the administrative role previously played by parishes and hundreds. Although the Hundreds have never been formally abolished, their functions ended with the establishment of county courts in 1867[4] and the introduction of districts by the Local Government Act 1894.[5]}}

shire vs county
editshire and county are used interchangeably in the article - what is the difference, if any? Are they simply different terms used by the Anglo-Saxons and Normans for the same thing? The article should explain that then. LamontCranston (talk)
It's explained in the Wikipedia article for ["Shire"]. In the UK, the two terms are effectively synonymous, but there's a bit of history behind the two words.Thomas Peardew (talk) 13:39, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
- The term county has developed over time to refer to different types of land divisions whereas the term shire has remained as a synonym for the original traditional county land division. This is just an observation by me which I think is relevant to the question. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 22:26, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
Hundreds in New Zealand
editI don't have any good sources to hand so can't add it to the article itself - but Hundred has been in use in parts of New Zealand - most notably the southern part of the historic Southland Province - as the name of land registration districts. Many original sections in southern Southland are still registered in hundreds - from the south coast as far north as the Hundred Line (which gets its name from this distinction). These hundreds and their boundaries are shown on survey maps up to the mid 1980s. Daveosaurus (talk) 08:49, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
