About The County of Buckinghamshire - Buckinghamshire has an approximate admin population of 480,000 and total area population of 700,000 (2005). Buckinghamshire (abbreviated Bucks) is one of the home counties in South East England. The county town is Aylesbury. The area under the control of Buckinghamshire County Council, or shire county, is divided into four districts. At 876 feet (267 m) above sea level, the two highest points are Coombe Hill near Wendover, and Haddington Hill in Wendover Woods, Buckinghamshire, near Wendover. The name Buckinghamshire is Anglo Saxon in origin and means The district (scire) of Bucca's home. Bucca's home refers to Buckingham in the north of the county, and is named after an Anglo-Saxon landowner. The county has been so named since about the 12th century; however, the county itself has existed since it was a subdivision of the kingdom of Mercia (585–919).
