Some
interesting info about York. York is a walled city,
situated at the confluence of the Rivers Ouse and Foss in
North Yorkshire, England. The city has a rich heritage and
has provided the backdrop to major political events
throughout much of its two millennia of existence.
The city was founded by the Romans in 71 AD. They called it
Eboracum, a name perhaps derived from one used by the
British tribes who inhabited the area. The Romans made it
the capital of their Province of Britannia Inferior. While
the Roman colonia and fortress were located on high ground,
by 400 the town itself was victim to periodic flooding from
the rivers Ouse and Foss and lay abandoned. In the early 5th
century the area was settled by Angles, who called the town
Eoforwic. Reclamation of the flooded parts of the town were
initiated in the 7th century under King Edwin.
The city came to be the episcopal, and later, royal centre
of the Kingdom of Northumbria. The Vikings captured the city
in 866 AD, and for the period between 866 and the final
incorporation of Northumbria into the Kingdom of England in
954. York is sometimes referred to by modern writers by its
Scandinavianised form, Jórvík. The name in its modern form
"York" was first used in the 13th century. In the Middle
Ages York grew as a major wool trading centre and the
ecclesiastical capital of the northern province of England.
The Province of York has remained one of the two Church of
England ecclesiastical provinces, along with that of
Canterbury.
York's location on the River Ouse, in the centre of the Vale
of York and half way between the capitals of London and
Edinburgh means that it has long had a significant position
in the nation's transport system. The 19th century saw York,
under the influence of George Hudson, become an important
hub of the railway network and a manufacturing centre. In
recent decades, the economy of York has moved from being
dominated by its confectionery and railway-related
industries to one that provides services. The University of
York and health services have become major employers.
Tourism also boosts the local economy because the city
offers a wealth of historic attractions, of which York
Minster is the most prominent, and a variety of cultural
activities. In 2009 it was the 7th most visited city by UK
residents and the 13th most visited by overseas
visitors.[8][9] York Racecourse and Bootham Crescent, the
home of York City FC, are the most prominent sporting venues
in the city and the River Ouse provides opportunities for
both sporting and leisure pursuits.
From 1996, the term City of York describes a unitary
authority area which includes rural areas beyond the old
city boundaries. In 2001 the urban area had a population of
137,505, while in 2007 the entire unitary authority had an
estimated population of 193,300 |
