The area is defined by its position on the River Derwent, with the historic town centres separated by this waterway. The economy has long been connected to agriculture and food production, with a weekly market and regular livestock auctions serving the surrounding rural area.

A key feature is the Malton Museum, located within the town hall, which holds significant Roman artefacts from a nearby fort.
