On the edge of Coatham Marsh, the area was originally called Warrenstown[1] when it was founded in 1873 to provide housing for workers at the nearby ironworks of Downey & Co and Walker Maynard.

[2] Although it was on the route of the Middlesbrough & Redcar Railway, the area did not have a station until 1916 when Warrenby Halt was opened mainly to serve the nearby Dorman Long works.

The halt closed in 1978 when the railway was realigned to make way for the new Redcar steel plant.
