Note: "Middlesbrough (/ˈmɪdəlzbrə/ (listen) MID-əlz-brə) is a large town in North Yorkshire, in the North East of England. The town sits on the southern bank of the River Tees and is part of the Teesside conurbation. In 2019 the towns borough population was 140,980 and part of a wider urban population of 174,700.

Middlesbrough´s historic county is Yorkshire, North Riding. The local Tees region was initially settled by Angles and Vikings with several historic suburbs still named for them. The area remained largely rural, and was primarily a farming estate until the early 19th century. The arrival of the coal industry spurred a sequence of industrial development. The establishment of significant ironworks drove the demand for labour, including large numbers of Welsh and Irish migrants, and swelled the population such that by 1853 the town received its Royal Charter. Later in the 19th century the town increasingly switched over to the production of steel which supported the manufacture of ships at shipyards along the Tees. The three industries remained strongly associated with the town for the next century, making it a repeated target for the Luftwaffe during WW2. " - (en.wikipedia.org 01.04.2021)
