Bournemouth is a unitary authority so is not covered by Dorset County
Council anyway, unlike Christchurch which also switched from Hants.

Within easy living memory, Bournemouth was a shire district in
Hampshire. Then it was swapped to the same status within Dorset, then
to unitary status.

No it wasn't. It was a County Borough before 1974.

Was it not in Hampshire?

Insofar as any County Borough then or Unitary now is in a county, yes.

Counties existed for hundreds of years before there were any county
councils, and still exist where county councils have lost power. New
"County Of Middlesex" signs were put up by Enfield Council not too long ago.
