In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Forge Valley like this:
FORGE VALLEY, a reach of the valley of the Derwent river, N. R. Yorkshire; between Hackness and East and West Ayton. It takes its name from a quondam forge or factory of iron; exhibits very picturesque scenery: and attracts visitors from Scarborough.
Forge Valley is now part of NORTH YORKSHIRE Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how NORTH YORKSHIRE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Forge Valley itself, go to Statistics.
