54°30′00″N 1°08′02″W / 54.500°N 1.134°W Cleveland /ˈkliːvlənd/ is a land of hills and dales from the River Tees to Vale of Pickering, England. The name means "cliff-land".
The area corresponds to the former Langbaurgh Wapentake. The North York Moors national park, established in 1952, covers part of it. A non-metropolitan county under the same name existed from 1974 to 1996 and there is ambiguity today between that county and the historic extent of the name. It is the ancestral home of Grover Cleveland, who was the 22nd and 24th President of the United States.[1]
