The predecessor of the state administration(s), from 1970 until the 2007 reform, were the 14 county government divisions or prefectures (Danish: "statsamt", plural: "statsamter", i.e. 'state county'). They were each led by an "amtmand" (county prefect or governor) appointed by the government, while in ecclesiastical contexts the title "stiftamtmand" ('diocesan prefect') was used for the same position. These units were distinct from the 14 counties led by an elected council, but covered the same areas. Copenhagen, however, had the equivalent entity of Upper Presidium ("Københavns overpræsidium") led by an upper president ("overpræsident"), a title originating from 1747. The municipality of Frederiksberg shared its county governor and county government division with Copenhagen County (not covering Copenhagen proper, but the surrounding area). Bornholm retained its county government office and governor even after losing its county status (2003-2006).
