Hyde is a town in Tameside, Greater Manchester, England, which had a population of 35,890 in 2021. Within the boundaries of the historic county of Cheshire, it is located 5 miles (8 km) north-east of Stockport, 6 miles (10 km) west of Glossop and 8 miles (13 km) east of Manchester. == History == === Early history === Newton Hall was present in the thirteenth century. The area formed a township of the parish of St Mary, Stockport. Its name is derived from the Hide, a measure of land for taxation purposes, taken to be that area of land necessary to support a peasant family; in later times, it was taken to be equivalent to 120 acres (49 ha). In the late 18th century, the area that was to become the town centre was no more than a cluster of houses known as Red Pump Street. Gee Cross was much larger and 'Hyde' was still only used to refer to the estates of Hyde Hall on the banks of the River Tame. Altogether, there were only 3,500 inhabitants in the district in 1801. The town is largely a creation of the 19th century and the Industrial Revolution. === Industrial Revolution === The population of Hyde increased due to the success of the cotton mills during the Industrial Revolution of the late 18th and early 19th centuries; at one stage, there were 40 working mills.
