===Civil parish===
[[File:Manby Road near Immingham - geograph.org.uk - 5301969.jpg|thumb|Approaching Immingham on the [[A180 road (England)|A180 Road]]]]
The civil parish of Immingham is located on the south bank of the [[Humber Estuary]] {{convert|10|km|mi|0|spell=on|abbr=off|order=flip}} west-northwest of [[Grimsby]]. The civil parish is bounded by [[South Killingholme]] to the north-west, with the drain watercourse outfalling at South Killingholme Haven forming the boundary – also the county boundary between [[North Lincolnshire]] and [[North East Lincolnshire]]. The south-eastern boundary is with the civil parish of [[Stallingborough]], with the North Beck Drain forming most of the boundary. The parish extends to the south-west as far as Roxton, with boundaries to the south-west and south with the civil parishes of [[Habrough]] and [[Keelby]].<ref name="osm">Ordnance Survey 1:25000, Sheet 284, 2006</ref>

The civil parish is low lying, extending from below {{convert|5|m}} above sea level near the Humber foreshore, to a peak of {{convert|21|m}} in Roxton wood in the south-west corner. The main features within the parish are the Humber shoreline, running roughly north-west to south-east, the [[Immingham Dock]] and estate, and adjacent south of the dock the town of Immingham. The A180 and Stallingborough-Habrough section of the mainline railway west out of Grimsby ([[Great Grimsby and Sheffield Junction Railway]]) pass roughly east–west through the southern part of the parish. The A1173 connects the town and dock to the A180. Excluding farms there are no other places of habitation outside the town in the civil parish.<ref name="osm"/>

There are two abandoned sites of medieval villages in the parish: that of the village of Immingham, north-west of the modern town, near St Andrew's Church; and [[Roxton, Lincolnshire|Roxton]] in the southern extremity of the parish.<ref name="osm"/>

Population of the civil parish was 9,861 in 2001,<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadKeyFigures.do?a=7&b=11124996&c=immingham&d=16&e=15&g=6381743&i=1001x1003x1032x1004&m=0&r=1&s=1437748089330&enc=1|title=Key Figures for 2001 Census: Key Statistics – Area: Immingham (Parish)|access-date=17 August 2015|publisher=Office for National Statistics|work=Neighbourhood Statistics}}</ref> and 9,642 in 2011.<ref name="2011 parish">{{NOMIS2011|id=1170211313|title=Immingham Parish|access-date=27 February 2018}}</ref>

===Town===
The mayor of Immingham is Kevin Houghton who was elected to follow Stefan Allan, who was elected on 15 May 2019, and then re-elected the following year. Allan currently serves as Houghton's deputy. Before his election as mayor, Allan served as the deputy to preceding mayor and mayoress George Fox, and his wife Veronica Fox.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.immingham-tc.gov.uk/reports.php?id=12|title=The Mayor|publisher=Immingham Town Council|accessdate=6 March 2022}}</ref>

The town of Immingham is a compact urban area of approximately {{convert|1|sqmi}}, situated south-west of the dock in the middle of the parish. It is bisected by the B1210.<ref name="osm"/>

The town has a retail centre, "Kennedy Way", with stores such as [[Tesco]] and [[Aldi]], a leisure centre with swimming pool and gym, and several schools.

On the north-eastern outskirts of the town there is a Knauf UK GmbH plant that makes [[plasterboard]].

===Transport===
Immingham was formerly served by two railways, the [[Barton and Immingham Light Railway]] mainly carrying freight traffic to and from the dock, and the [[Grimsby and Immingham Electric Railway]] carrying passengers between the town and the dock. Both were withdrawn by the early 1960s. In the present day, the nearest railway stations are at {{stnlnk|Habrough}} and {{stnlnk|Stallingborough}} on the former [[Great Grimsby and Sheffield Junction Railway]], now part of the [[Barton line]].

A half-hourly bus service currently operated by [[Stagecoach East Midlands]] links Immingham with Grimsby.
