About Middlesbrough - show infohide info
Middlesbrough is an industrial town and port in northeastern England. Middlesbrough is historically part of the North Riding of Yorkshire, but in 1974 became part of the new administrative county of Cleveland. In 1996 Cleveland was abolished, and Middlesbrough became a unitary authority, though it is still part of North Yorkshire for ceremonial purposes. Middlesbrough is situated on the south bank of the river Tees, it became a town in 1830 as a result of industrial expansion connected with iron production and the growth of railways, including the development of the Stockton and Darlington Railway. The Pease family of Cleveland, landowners with major iron interests, are seen as largely responsible for the explosion of Middlesbrough from little more than a hamlet into a fully-fledged town. Middlesbrough is still an industrial town, with chemicals, fertilizers, iron and steel as its main industries. Middlesbrough also has a large and comprehensive shopping centre made up of several smaller centres.
