Cleveland (Template:IPAc-en) is a district in North Yorkshire, England, lying between the River Tees and the North Sea on one side and the North York Moors on the other. It is coextensive with the old wapentake of Langbaurgh.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> The name comes from the Old English Template:Lang, meaning "district of cliffs".<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
The district should not be confused with the administrative county of Cleveland (1974–1996), which covered a smaller area and included land on the north side of the Tees, in what had been County Durham.
Industry
Template:See also The Cleveland Hills were key suppliers of the ironstone that was essential to running blast furnaces along the River Tees. Cleveland's rich ore has created a significant industrial heritage, arising from its central role in the 19th-century iron boom that led to Middlesbrough growing from a hamlet into a major industrial town in only a matter of decades. Teesport is one of the United Kingdom's main ports, initially due to the iron boom, with other heavy industrial plants between Middlesbrough and Redcar.
