Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough MID-əlz-brə) is a town on the southern bank of the River Tees in North Yorkshire, England. The Borough of Middlesbrough is governed from the town.

Until the early 1800s, the area was rural farming land. By 1830, a new town and port had begun to be developed, driven by the coal industry and later ironworks. Steel production and ship building began in the late 1800s, and remained associated with the town until post-industrial decline occurred in the late twentieth century. Trade, notably through ports, and digital enterprise sectors contemporarily contribute to the local economy. Teesside University is based in the town.
