In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Eastgate like this:
EASTGATE, a chapelry in Stanhope parish, Durham; on the river Wear, 2½ miles W of Stanhope town and r. station. It has a post office under Darlington. The statistics are returned with the parish; and the living is a p. curacy, annexed to the rectory of Stanhope. There is a Wesleyan chapel.
Eastgate is now part of COUNTY DURHAM Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how COUNTY DURHAM has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Eastgate itself, go to Statistics.
