Thornaby-on-Tees is situated between Stockton On Tees and Middlesbrough, close to Ingleby Barwick, Acklam, Billingham and Norton in the north-east of England, in Teesside, the area formerly known as Cleveland, in the borough of Stockton-on-Tees. The meaning of the name stems from the village of Thornaby being originally settled by a Viking called Thormad or Thormoth, of Danish origin. The name was spelled in various ways over the centuries including Turmozbi, Thormozbi and Tormozbia in the eleventh century. Later spellings included Thormodby, Thormodebi, Thormotebi, Thormotheby and Thormotby. The form Thornaby first appears in 1665 and refers to old Thornaby village near the River Tees. Old Thornaby was initially built around St Peters Church and the old village green but In the nineteenth century, it was gradually overshadowed by the burgeoning town of South Stockton on the Yorkshire side of the Tees opposite Stockton on Tees. In 1825 it became the site of a pottery and quickly grew with the establishment of shipbuilding and engineering in the area. South Stockton gradually grew so big that eventually, the little village of Thornaby got swallowed up. In 1892 South Stockton and Old Thornaby merged into one to form the municipal borough of Thornaby on Tees.
