Stokesley was a rural district in the North Riding of Yorkshire from 1894 to 1974.
It lost parts in 1968 with the creation of the Teesside county borough.
It was split three ways, with the northern parts going to the boroughs of Stockton-on-Tees and Middlesbrough in the new county of Cleveland, and the rest becoming part of the Hambleton District of North Yorkshire.
The parishes that went to Stockton were: Castlelevington, Hilton, Ingleby Barwick, Kirklevington, Maltby and Yarm, whilst Nunthorpe went to Middlesbrough.
