Middlesbrough is a unitary authority and borough in North Yorkshire, England. It is based on the town of Middlesbrough, which is sometimes considered to spread outside the borough boundaries into the neighbouring borough of Redcar and Cleveland; the borough extends southwards to a semi-rural area. Whilst part of North Yorkshire for ceremonial purposes it is in the region of North East England.

It had a resident population in 2001 of 134,855. A 2006 mid-year estimate suggests the Borough to have a population of 138,400 and the urban area to have 147,823 and rising. The district was formed on 1 April 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, from part of the former County Borough of Teesside, along with the parish of Nunthorpe from the Stokesley Rural District. It was a district, and the county town of the new county of Cleveland from 1 April 1974, until 1996, when Cleveland was abolished under the Banham Review, and Middlesbrough became a unitary authority

The borough borders Stockton-on-Tees to the west, Redcar and Cleveland to the east and the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire to the south.

Unlike most English districts, its council is led by a directly-elected mayor, currently Ray Mallon. Mr. Mallon was previously a senior officer in Cleveland Police, and was noted for a zero-tolerance approach to crime, adopted from the New York system, during his time as head of Middlesbrough's CID.

Below is the political composition of the council as of 2008.



The borough has 23 council wards. Middlesbrough is mostly unparished, with Nunthorpe and Stainton and Thornton being the only parishes. Areas within the borough, other than central Middlesbrough, are

*Coulby Newham

*Hemlington

*Marton

*Nunthorpe

*Ormesby
