Middlesbrough developed because of iron ore found in Eston Hills, which is quite near it. Coal was also found in Redcar, a few miles to the west of Middlesbrough. They both were burned together to form steel, and was exported out to many parts of the world. They changed from a small hamlet, with around 60 people, to an industrial town which currently has around 149,000 inhabitants
