History[edit]
Municipal authority[edit]
Stockton previously held borough status as the Municipal Borough of Stockton-on-Tees. It was in historic Durham county.
Loss of status[edit]
In 1968, it was merged into Teesside County Borough, this cival parish was a part of the unadministrative North Riding county until its abolishment.
District authority[edit]
The town regained a borough on 1 April 1974 as a result of the Local Government Act 1972. At that time it was designated as a non-metropolitan district of the Cleveland county, itself established at the same time. Multiple parishes and boroughs merged into Stockton's newly formed district borough:
- Teesside county borough's area covering the former Stockton, Billingham and Thornaby municipal boroughs
- Hilton, Ingleby Barwick, Kirklevington, Maltby and Yarm parishes of the previous North Riding county administrated Stokesley Rural District
- Part of the County Durham administrated Stockton Rural District parishes.

The district became a unitary authority on 1 April 1996. The borough is ceremonially split between County Durham and North Yorkshire, to the north and south of the Tees. It is the only council in the UK to be split between two ceremonial counties of England.
