^{*************}

^{Grimsby, also known as Great Grimsby, is a large town and seaport situated on the South Bank of the Humber Estuary, in England, close to where it reaches the North Sea. The town was traditionally in Lincolnshire until 1974, when it was absorbed into the new county of Humberside. After the abolition of Humberside in 1996, the town was returned to Lincolnshire. It now serves as the administrative centre of the North East Lincolnshire unitary authority. Grimsby developed as a major sea port on the east coast of England, hosting the largest fishing fleet in the world by the mid-twentieth century.[1]}

^{The fishing industry dramatically declined following the Cod Wars of the 1970s, and since then the town has battled with post-industrial decline.[2] Since the 1990s the local council has encouraged food manufacturing, promoting the town as "Europe's food town." As one of the largest centres of population in Lincolnshire, the Grimsby-Cleethorpes conurbation acts as the cultural, shopping and industrial centre for a large area of northern and eastern Lincolnshire.}

^{The town was titled "Great Grimsby" to distinguish it from Little Grimsby, a village about 14 miles (22 km) to the south, near Louth. People from Grimsby are called Grimbarians;[3] the term codhead (plural codheads) is also used jokingly or disparagingly, often with reference to Grimsby football supporters.[4][5][6][7][8]}

^{The town had a population of 88,243 in 2011.[9] It is physically linked to and forms a conurbation with the adjoining town of Cleethorpes. Some 11,000 of its residents live in the village of Scartho, which was absorbed into Grimsby before 20th-century laws on the green belt were passed. All three areas come under the jurisdiction of the same unitary authority, North East Lincolnshire. It is close to the main terminus of the A180, which ends in Cleethorpes. 22 January is Great Grimsby Day.[3]}

^{Grimsby lies in the national character areas of the Humber, and the Lincolnshire coast and Marshes; it is predominantly low in topography. The town was historically settled on low-lying islands and raised areas of the Humber marsh, and subsequently expanded onto the surrounding marshes as they were drained. The town still has areas named East Marsh and West Marsh. The Lincolnshire Wolds are situated to the south west of the town, from which the town's River Freshney rises.}
