Marton - officially Marton-in-Cleveland - was a village in the North Riding of Yorkshire, which is now within the town boundaries of Middlesbrough, in the borough of Middlesbrough and the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England. Originally, the parish of Marton extended down to the River Tees; but, with the expansion of Middlesbrough, the parish became progressively smaller. Marton is near the North York Moors, and is served by Marton railway station, which is on the Esk Valley Railway Line between Middlesbrough and Whitby. Attractions include Stewart Park, a large public park gifted to the people of Middlesbrough by councillor Dormund Stewart in 1928.
In more recent times, Marton has seen a development as part of the conurbation of Middlesbrough; additions include housing near the Country Club, and Retirement Housing at the top end of Marton by the Southern Cross Pub. The local pub is the Rudd's Arms, opposite the Marton Hotel and Country Club on Stokesley Road and next to the Marton Cricket Club.
