Coordinates: 53°24′30″N 2°08′58″W / 53.4083°N 2.1494°W / 53.4083; -2.1494 Stockport /ˈstɒkpɔːt/ is a large town in Greater Manchester, England. It lies on elevated ground 7 miles south-east of Manchester city centre, at the point where the rivers Goyt and Tame merge to create the River Mersey. Stockport is the largest settlement in the metropolitan borough of the same name. At the 2001 census the town had a population of 136,082 and the wider borough 284,528. Historically, most of the town was in Cheshire, but the area to the north of the Mersey was in Lancashire. Stockport in the 16th century was a small town entirely on the south bank of the Mersey, and known for the cultivation of hemp and rope manufacture. In the 18th century the town had one of the first mechanised silk factories in the British Isles. However, Stockport's predominant industries of the 19th century were the cotton and allied industries. Stockport was also at the centre of the country's hatting industry, which by 1884 was exporting more than six million hats a year; the last hat works in Stockport closed in 1997.
