Yarm is a small town and civil parish in the unitary authority of Stockton-on-Tees in North East England. The population of the ward in Stockton Unitary Authority was 9,745 at the 2011 census. It is on the south bank of the River Tees, and for ceremonial purposes, is in the county of North Yorkshire. The bridge at Yarm marked the furthest reach of tidal flow up the River Tees until the opening, in 1995, of the Tees Barrage, which now regulates river flow above Stockton. As the last bridge on the river before the sea, it was superseded by a new toll bridge opened in Stockton in 1771. The oldest part of the town, around the High Street, is situated in a loop of the river, and the newer parts of the town extend to the point where the River Leven meets the River Tees.
