I want to know the answer to the following question:
What year was the county of Hampshire officially named?
All the background I'm provided with is that "After the establishment of Hampshire County Council, following the act in 1888, Southampton became a county borough within the county of Hampshire, which meant that it had many features of a county, but governance was now shared between the Corporation in Southampton and the new county council.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
