Cheshire East, Administrative borough in North West England, United Kingdom
Cheshire East encompasses 450 square miles of land featuring dairy farms, agricultural fields, and historic black-and-white half-timbered farmhouses across the countryside.
The unitary authority of Cheshire East formed in 2009 through the reorganization of Cheshire county, incorporating the former districts of Congleton, Crewe, Nantwich, and Macclesfield.
The town of Knutsford within Cheshire East provided inspiration for Elizabeth Gaskell to write her nineteenth-century novel Cranford, published in 1853.
The borough contains extensive transportation infrastructure including the M6 motorway and the West Coast Mainline railway, connecting the region to Manchester, Liverpool, and Birmingham.
The administrative center Sandbach manages local governance while traditional farmhouses continue producing Cheshire cheese using methods passed through generations.
