The Cleveland (Structural Change) Order 1995 and The Cleveland (Further Provision) Order 1995 came into effect on April 1, 1996, and renamed Langbaurgh-on-Tees to Redcar and Cleveland, abolished the County of Cleveland and created four unitary authorities in its place. The effect of the second order was to abolish the county utterly. It is not even retained for ceremonial purposes, with the area being split between the ceremonial counties of Durham and North Yorkshire. More commonly however, the area is now referred to as Tees Valley, which covers the four former Cleveland Unitary Authorities together with Darlington.

Cleveland has a significant industrial heritage arising from its central role in the 19th century iron boom that led to Middlesbrough growing from a hamlet into a major industrial town in only a few decades.

Middlesbrough's Teesport is still one of the United Kingdom's main ports and the area between Middlesbrough and Redcar is still populated by many heavy industrial plants, although this is much reduced from its 20th century peak.
