Scarborough is a town on the North Sea coast of North Yorkshire, England.
According to an Icelandic Saga, it was founded by the Vikings around 966AD. There are remains of Roman[disambiguation needed], Stone Age and Bronze Age settlements, so it was obviously a natural place to put a settlement.
With a population of around 50,000, Scarborough is the largest holiday resort on the Yorkshire coast. Yorkshire County Cricket Club's second ground is at North Marine Road.
Local news and information is provided by the towns radio station Yorkshire Coast Radio.[1]
Scarborough Athletic FC is the football team in the coastal resort. The team is managed by Manchester United treble winner and former West Brom captain Jono Greening. [2]
