Corby is an industrial town and a local government district located in Northamptonshire, England. In 1931 Corby was a small village with a population of around 1,500. Corby grew rapidly into a reasonable sized industrial town, when a Scottish steel firm located to the then village in the mid-1930s, bringing most of their Scottish employees with them. Due to this, many Corby residents today speak with a Scottish accent, despite being in the English Midlands. Steel production was for many years the town's main industry. Corby was designated a new town in the 1950s and the town grew further. The steel industry went into decline in the 1980s. Corby crater on Mars is named after Corby. This web site has images of the crater.
