Trafford Park is situated in the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford, a local authority area in Greater Manchester, England. Trafford itself has an estimated population of 241,025 in 2024 and covers 106 square kilometres (41 square miles). The borough incorporates the towns of Altrincham, Stretford, Urmston, Partington and Sale, and was established in 1974 through the merger of six former districts and part of a seventh. The River Mersey flows through Trafford, creating a natural division between North Trafford and South Trafford, and the borough lies at the historic boundary between the counties of Lancashire and Cheshire. As the seventh‑most populous district in Greater Manchester, Trafford offers a mix of urban and suburban environments within a relatively compact area of the north‑western England region.
