Stoke, or to give it its full name, Stoke-upon-Trent is a town in the
City of Stoke-on-Trent, in the
ceremonial county of
Staffordshire in the
United Kingdom. The town, which was incorporated as a
municipal borough in 1874, is one of six that federated to form the county borough of Stoke-on-Trent in 1910, along with
Hanley,
Tunstall,
Burslem,
Longton and
Fenton. It is the seat of the city's council. Stoke-on-Trent's city centre is, however, usually regarded as being the nearby town of
Hanley which is, and has been since federation, the most commercially important of the Six Towns.
