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. At the end of Roman rule in 415 AD the
settlement was taken over by the Angles and the city was renamed
Eoforwic. It served as the capital of the Anglian Kingdom of
Northumbria. When the Vikings captured the city in 866 AD they
renamed it Jórvík and it became the capital of a wider kingdom of
the same name covering much of Northern England. After the Norman
conquest, the name "York", which was first used in the 13th century,
gradually evolved. 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 is still one of the two
Church of England ecclesiastical provinces, alongside 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. York Racecourse and Kit Kat
Crescent, the home of York City F.C., 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. |
