Langbaurgh (wapentake)

Langbaurgh was a wapentake (hundred), or liberty, of the North Riding of Yorkshire. It covered an area on the northern coast of the county, including Middlesbrough, Easby, Great Ayton, Guisborough, Marske-by-the-Sea, Maltby, Easington, Redcar, and Whitby - the Cleveland area.

The wapentake had two divisions, the western and eastern.

The name was re-used for the non-metropolitan district of "Langbaurgh", created in 1974, and known since 1996 as the unitary authority of Redcar and Cleveland.
