Greater Eston is part of the Borough of Redcar and Cleveland, North Yorkshire, England. The name is used by the borough council to describe the centres of Eston, Grangetown, Normanby, Ormesby, South Bank and Teesville.[1]
It had a population of 38,130[2] at the 2011 census and was included as part of the Teesside Built-up Area's Middlesbrough subdivision. The villages of Lackenby, Lazenby and Wilton are in the area however were not included in Middlesbrough.
Until 1968, the majority of the area was the Eston Urban District, although Ormesby was in Stokesley Rural District.[3] The former district's application for a town charter was declined twice.
The ancient parish of Ormesby was divided into five civil parishes in 1866; Eston, Morton, Normanby, Ormesby and Upsall.[4]

In the 1974 local government reforms, the county borough was renamed as the county of Cleveland, expanded as well as restructured to a ceremonial and non-metropolitan county. Areas of former county borough became unparished while the expanded areas remained parished. The county of Cleveland existed between 1974 until 1996, its Langbaurgh borough becoming Redcar and Cleveland.
The borough of Redcar and Cleveland's unparished area, outside of the former Redcar municipal borough unparished area, is the former Eston Urban District and the Ormesby ward.
