A quick history
Middlesbrough is a relatively new town, and until the early 19th century had a population of just 25 people. When the Stockton and Darlington Railway opened in 1825, Middlesbrough began to flourish as a port and industrial town, especially after the discovery of ironstone in the local area. Middlesbrough was one of the first places to be bombed in the UK during the Second World War. Many buildings were destroyed, and the town has since been redeveloped.
Business and industry
Industry in Middlesbrough has been dominated by the port, iron, steel and chemicals, with ICI located in the town until the late 20th and early 21st century. Teesport, around 3 miles away from Middlesbrough on the River Tees, is still a big employer in the local area, handling large amounts of cargo for the North East of England Process Industry Cluster.
Other big employers in Middlesbrough include INEOS Nitriles (UK), Cleveland Cable Company, The Gibson O’Neill Company, Hertel (UK) and Quorn Foods.
