It was formerly a rural district with Throston near the Headland overlooking the Tees bay. The district also covered inland farm areas such as Dyke House and West View; some included Throston in their names such as High Throston and Throston Grange. As Hartlepool developed the district merged with the town and is now mainly urban.
