It lies within the historic boundaries of Cheshire, although not administratively in the county of Cheshire.
For administrative purposes it lies within the Metropolitan Borough of Stockport which was created in 1974 as part of the new administrative metropolitan county of Greater Manchester under the guidelines of the Redcliffe Maud Report.
The Government stated at the time that the new administrative/ metropolitan counties were not aimed at changing the the historic boundaries of counties or affecting the loyalties that residents hold the these counties; but rather improving the administrative functions of areas.
Royal mail did not use Greater Manchester as a postal county due to confusion with the postal town of Manchester. Therefore residents may use their historic counties of Cheshire or Lancashire on postal addresses.

Marple Bridge was once part of Derbyshire but this was transferred to Cheshire in the 1930's.

Is cheshire in Manchester?
Yes, Yes is it Cheshire is a county in the North West of England and the County Town in Chester. It is bordered by Greater Manchester, but not in it ~ I know this sounds strange but at least one place (Stockport) is within the historic boundaries of the county of Cheshire, even the postal address is still Cheshire, but it is now part of Greater Manchester. Even stranger, within living memory, although Stockport was supposedly in Cheshire the parts of Stockport on the northerly side of the River Mersey were officially and historically in Lancashire. (the same as Manchester was)
Which county is Stockport in?
Most people now say Stockport is in Greater Manchester, along with Rochdale, Oldham etc but it was originally in Cheshire before Greater Manchester Borough was formed. I would stick to the original roots and say Cheshire :) Hope this helped! Stockport lies within the historic county boundaries of Cheshire but not in Cheshire's administrative boundaries. Since 1974 Stockport has been a Metropolitan Borough of the Metropolitan County of Greater Manchester. Greater Manchester was created to enhance and provide a harmonious local government of the built up areas around South East Lancashire and North East Cheshire. The creation of Greater Manchester did not intent to alter the historic county boundaries of Cheshire or persuade local people to alter their loyalties to Cheshire- this was confirmed by the government at the time. Stockport therefore lies within the ancient County Boundaries of Cheshire that were created in the 12th Century. For modern administrative reasons it forms part of Greater Manchester (note it is not part of the city of Manchester). Many people either refer to Stockport as in Cheshire, Greater Manchester or Both- all of which are correct. Cheshire is also the postal county of Stockport.
