Dukinfield grew from a small village just south of [[Ashton-under-Lyne]] with open land to the south and east, the gap between it and the surrounding towns of [[Hyde, Greater Manchester|Hyde]] and [[Matley]] being a semicircle around 1.5 miles wide, to fill the gap entirely by the late 1940s. In its early days from 1801, and previously, the population was small but boomed during the days of the cotton industry and later the coal industry with its major rail junction adding to its prosperity and growth.
