Manchester is one of the English most
important cities. It is located in the northern
part of England, not far from Liverpool. Today
the population of Manchester is 438,000.
Manchester began, when a wooden fort was
built by the Roman army on a plateau about
80 AD. The fort was rebuilt in stone about 200
AD. Soon a civilian settlement grew up around
the fort.
However in 407 the Roman army left Britain and
the civilian settlement disappeared. The stone
fort fell into ruin.

In 7th century the Saxons created a new
village, but it was tiny. The surrounding area
was thinly populated and was mostly forest.
The Saxons called any Roman town or fort a
caester. They called the old fort at
Manchester Mamm caester. The village
nearby took its name from the fort. By 1086
the settlement was called Mamecester. In
time the name changed to Manchester. In
919 the king repaired the old Roman fort as
a defence against the Danes.

During the 16th century and the 17th Manchester grew steadily
larger and more important. By the late 16th century it may have
had a population of 4,000. By the mid 17th century it probably
had about 5,000 inhabitants. However, it still wasn't a particularly
large town. It may have been important locally but it wasn't very
important nationally.
In the early 18th century Manchester probably had a population
of around 10,000. It was still a medium sized town. The town
continued to be famous for manufacturing wool, cotton, linen
and silk. The first theatre in Manchester opened in 1753. By 1756
the population had risen to over 16,000 (including Salford). In
1761 the Bridgewater canal was built to bring coal from a
coalfield to the town. However in the late 18th century the
industrial revolution began. The population of Manchester
soared and by the end of the century it had reached 70,000.
The Manchester Chamber of Commerce was created in 1820.
From 1828 horse drawn buses ran in the streets. In 1830 a railway
to Liverpool opened.
