A predominantly industrial town, it is the United Kingdom’s largest steel processing centre and is also known as the “Industrial Garden Town.”
It is the third largest settlement in Lincolnshire, after Lincoln and Grimsby.

As Scunthorpe expanded, it incorporated the former villages of the town, including Frodingham, Ashby, Crosby, Bottesford, and Brumby. In 1891, the city was officially considered an urban district.
