Calverton is a village and civil parish in Nottinghamshire. The 2021 census found 7,282 inhabitants in 3,120 households. It was following the opening of a colliery by the National Coal Board in 1952, that the village began to assume its present identity, with new housing estates and marked population growth. The colliery closed in 1999 and while a small industrial estate provides some local employment, Calverton has taken on the character of a large commuter village. In May 1974 the village was officially twinned with Longué-Jumelles, in the Loire valley of France.
