Cleveland, Yorkshire

Cleveland () 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. The name comes from the Old English clifa land, meaning "district of cliffs". 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.
