==See also== {{Portal|Yorkshire}} *[[Haddersfield, Jamaica]], locally referred to and named for Huddersfield<ref name="haddersfield">'During the periods 1822β1832 the 33rd Regiment of Foot, recruited from West Yorkshire was stationed in Jamaica. At the end of the tour 142 men chose to remain in Jamaica, having married and raised families, some of which may have originated from Huddersfield, thereby originating the name. Over 560 officers and men died and were buried in Jamaica during this period, from endemic diseases. On 18 June 1853 the regiment formally became known as "The 33rd (or The Duke of Wellington's) Regiment". The regiment's second battalion was again posted to Jamaica (Newcastle Camp) from 18 March 1891 to 10 April 1893. {{cite book |last1=Brereton|first1= JM|last2= Savory|first2= ACS |title=The History of the Duke of Wellingtons (West Riding) 1702 β 1992 |publisher=Halifax: The Duke of Wellington's Regiment |year=1993 |isbn=0-9521552-0-6}}</ref> *[[Huddersfield Ben]], dog from the area in the 1860s that was the progenitor of the [[Yorkshire Terrier]] breed of dog *[[Kirklees Incinerator]] *[[Huddersfield power station]]
