Governance
The area, 1889–1974, was in the North Riding of Yorkshire administrative county. From 1894 until 1932, Saltburn had an urban district[2] while Marske was in the Guisborough Rural District. In 1932 the Saltburn and Marske-by-the-Sea Urban District was formed with both parishes retained separately.[3]
The parishes merged in 1974 and acquired its present name in 1983. The district was replaced with the larger Cleveland county's Borough of Langbaurgh, the Borough was renamed to Langbaurgh-on-Tees in 1988 and to Redcar and Cleveland in 1996.
