*************
Darlington is a large market town in County Durham, north-east England. It is also the major settlement in the unitary authority and Borough of Darlington, with a resident population of 106,000 in 2011. The town lies on the small River Skerne, a tributary of the River Tees, not far from the main river.[2][3] The town owes much of its development to the influence of local Quaker families during the Victorian era, and it is famous as the terminus of the world's first passenger railway. Darlington railway station is an important stop on the East Coast Main Line.
Darlington started life as an Anglo-Saxon settlement.[4] The name Darlington derives from the Anglo-Saxon Dearthington, which seemingly meant 'the settlement of Deornoth's people' but by Norman times the name had changed to Derlinton.[4] During the 17th and 18th centuries the town was generally known by the name of Darnton.[4]
Darlington has a historic market area in the town centre. Built in 1183, the Grade I listed St Cuthbert's Church is one of the most important early English churches in the north of England.[5]
Visiting during the 18th century, Daniel Defoe noted that the town was eminent for ""good bleaching of linen, so that I have known cloth brought from Scotland to be bleached here"". However he also disparaged the town, writing that it had ""nothing remarkable but dirt"" (the roads would typically be unpaved at the time).[6]
The Durham Ox came from Darlington.[4]
