which is divided into twenty wards, and forms part of the Tees Valley Combined Authority along with Darlington, Hartlepool, Redcar and Cleveland, and Stockton-on-Tees. It is represented in Parliament by two MPs. In 2021, it had a population of 148,215.
There was a priory at the site from 686 until 1537, but no urban settlement until Joseph Pease selected it as the site for the Stockton and Darlington Railway (S&DR) in 1829. After this it rapidly grew into a major centre of iron production. By the mid-1870's it produced one third of the United Kingdom's pig iron output and was known as Ironopolis. Steel production, ship building, and the chemical industry were also major industries. Since World War II, these industries have declined, but Teesport and the Wilton International industrial site remain major employers.
