Stockton-on-Tees, Industrial port town in County Durham, England.

Stockton-on-Tees extends along both sides of the River Tees, connecting Durham County in the north with North Yorkshire in the south through multiple bridges.

The Stockton and Darlington Railway, constructed in 1825, marked a transportation milestone as the first permanent steam locomotive passenger railway in the world.

The town maintains a traditional market dating from 1310, which continues to operate in the central square, attracting vendors and shoppers throughout the week.

The ARC Theatre and Arts Centre, established in 1999, provides multiple performance spaces and meeting facilities for cinema, theatre, dance, and music events.

A prehistoric hippopotamus tooth discovered near Stockton in 1958 represents the northernmost evidence of these animals ever found in Britain.
